Currently, if my terrain model has a break line, in order for me to remove that break line I have to either know exactly which file it came from, or I have to attach all possible files that it might be in. I might not even have that file because I might have gotten this terrain model from someone else.
In my most immediate situation, I have some ridiculous contour lines as source elements. I have no idea where they came from. I have no way of getting rid of them. The only workaround I have in mind is to delete the terrain model and recreate it from the source elements I have hanging around. I can, but I don't want to, because that means I have to go through each file that depends on this existing terrain model and activate the new terrain model.
That is not an acceptable workaround. It wouldn't be acceptable if I had only 5 files requiring this existing terrain model. Far less so since I have scores of files requiring this existing terrain model. Anyone have another solution? I figured it out. The key is in the terrain crossing features report (key-in terrainmodel report features). Since these ridiculous contours were conflicting with real break lines, they showed up, and I can delete the offenders.
