| Vertices || If the Vertices item in the ''TIN Display Options'' dialog is set, the TIN vertices are displayed each time the Graphics Window is refreshed. Since it is possible to accidentally drag points, vertices can be "locked" to prevent them from being dragged or edited by selecting the '''Lock ALL Vertices''' command from the ''TINs'' menu. Vertices can be unlocked by unchecking the '''Lock ALL Vertices''' command in the ''TINs'' menu. Both a "Locked" and "Unlocked" vertex color may be set so that there is a visible difference when displaying the TIN.
