Firstly, what is a Civil 3D Surface Boundary ? Well, let's find out in this online training course. Certainly, this step by step tutorial is a part of the Civil 3D essentials book and how-to manuals.

It is often essential to limit a surface within a defined boundary. This allows you to focus on the area of interest. It also helps allocate more computer processing power to the actual required work. Indeed, boundaries help limit Civil 3D's calculations to a smaller surface area. This is especially important as Civil 3D is still a graphics intensive software.

To add a boundary to the surface:

1. Expand the Existing Ground Surface definition.
2. Right-click on Boundaries in the definition.
3. Select Add.

4. Call the boundary Flower Village Boundary for example.

5. Click on OK.
6. Click on the dashed blue line representing the site boundary.
    

7. Notice how the surface is now constrained to the specified area.
