This allows the clinoforms to adapt to the morphology of the bounding surfaces ([[:File:BLTN13190fig2.jpg|Figure 2A]]). For cases in which an overlying erosional bounding surface is interpreted to truncate clinoforms ([[:File:BLTN13190fig2.jpg|Figure 2B]]) and/or clinoforms are interpreted to downlap onto a bounding surface that reflects irregular sea-floor topography ([[:File:BLTN13190fig2.jpg|Figure 2C]]), a planar and horizontal dummy surface is used either above the erosional bounding surface or below the bounding surface, reflecting irregular sea-floor topography. The height function BLTN13190eq30 (equation 1), is applied to the planar dummy surfaces to insert clinoforms; and, in a final step, the bounding surface geometries are used to remove the upper and/or lower portions of the clinoforms, where appropriate, to match interpreted truncation ([[:File:BLTN13190fig2.jpg|Figure 2B]]) and/or down lap ([[:File:BLTN13190fig2.jpg|Figure 2C]]).
