Add Terrain Model Boundary tool

Used to extract implied or stored boundaries from terrains with the ability to edit / rule the boundary.

Found on the Civil ribbon in the Terrain Model group.

The Add Boundary option allows the extraction of implied or stored boundaries from terrains with the ability to edit / rule the boundary. Once a boundary is added to a terrain as the edge method, the other methods of max side length and slivers are not available as they are overruled by the explicit boundary. A boundary added using this new tool can be removed using the Remove Terrain Model Boundary Tool.
