TIN Dialog

The TIN settings change the way TPC draws the TIN and breaklines of a surface.

TIN

The TIN is the Triangulated Irregular Network (or triangles) used to compute a surface. You can draw the triangles to see how TPC computed the surface.

Draw

Turn on this option to show the triangles and breaklines. Default = Off. Because breaklines are also triangle edges, they are drawn along with the triangles, using their own breakline settings.

Elevations

Turn on this option to label the triangles’ edges with the interpolated elevations.

Color, Line, Font

Use these settings to determine how TIN lines are drawn if the Draw option is turned on.

Layer

Choose this button to change the layer you want the TIN and breaklines to be drawn on. See Surface Layers.

Breaklines

Draw

Turn on this option to show the breaklines. Default = Off. If

Color, Line, Font

Use these settings to determine how breaklines lines are drawn if the Draw option is turned on. Hint: try a contrasting color for breaklines to make them stand out from the other TIN lines. This will help if you manually edit breaklines.
