Cutting piles or 3D polylines where they intersect a surface

    In TBC or HCE is there a way to cut off a pile string or even a 3D polyline, where it intersects a surface?  I've used other packages that can.

     

    Attached is a VCE with the surfaces and piles.  The lower surface is a clay layer that I want the piles to end at.  At the moment the piles extend a long way through below the surface.  

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Can you send me the csv file of the drill hole points?

    I imported the *.csv file.

    Select members.

    Edit -Elevation

    Surface elevation

    Surface :Clay

    Export -Custom-csv file.

     

    Exported csv file is attached.  I suppose this is what you want.

     

    I do not know why I could not select points from your DHA1B layer !!!

    Thanks for that.  Yes, I was aware of the process you have used as a work-around but it's not really what I was asking.  Thanks for your efforts anyway.
