TINs may be converted to other types of data used in GMS, such as a 2D mesh or 2D scatter points. TINs can be converted by right-clicking on the TIN in the Project Explorer, Right-clicking on the TIN in the graphics window, or using the following commands in the TIN menu:

TIN -> 2D Scatter Points

The TIN -> 2D Scatter Points command creates a 2D scatter point set from the active TIN . One scatter point is created for each vertex in the TIN. A copy is made of each of the data sets associated with the TIN and the duplicate data sets are stored with the new scatter point set.

TIN -> 2D Mesh

The TIN -> 2D Mesh command creates a 2D finite element mesh from the GMS - Make TIN Active|active]] TIN . One triangular element is created for each triangle in the TIN. Any data sets associated with the TIN are copied to the new mesh.

Fill Between TINs -> 3D Mesh

See Creating a 3D Mesh.

TIN Boundary -> Polygons

This command creates one or more polygons in the active coverage in the Map module corresponding to the outer boundary of the active TIN.

TIN Thiessen -> Polygons

This command calculates the thiessen polygons from the TIN and converts them to feature polygons.

Vertex Strings -> Arcs

The Vertex Strings -> Arcs command creates an arc in the active coverage of the Map module for each of the selected vertex strings.

Horizons -> Solids

See Horizons -> Solids.

Horizons -> 3D Mesh

See Horizons -> 3D Mesh.
