In order to split your surface, after you draw your toposurface, under the Massing & Site tab there is a Split surface button.  As far as a retention pond you would just add points sloping to your desired depth.  Check out youtube for some tutorials, I believe cadclips.com may have some also.

You don't "place" a pond but you can draw one. This is how I do it...

 

-Draw your topo surface including the topo lines (points) that account for the pond depth.

-Create a subregion for the change in material (if there is one) in the pond.  In this example I made the pond base "soil" whereas the site is "grass". A subregion basically allows you to change the material within a topo without having to draw a new one and/or mess with more topo points. Splitting a topo surface essentially creates a new topo surface independent of your existing one and consequently more topo points to deal with.

-Draw an in-place component to represent the pond water.

My problem  is that i have an exsisting toposurface and it wont let me split it. i tried to just drop points with lowering elevations but them the surface just goes straight over it.
