The WMS Digitize Toolbar provides a quick way to create TIN vertices if you have known elevations and have no source of accurate elevation data other than a digital map.

For example, if you have an image of a contour map with known contour elevations, you can turn on the Digitize Toolbar and then turn on Digitize Mode. Define an elevation value and then click on points along the contour to define vertices on a TIN, as shown below.

Once you have defined all the vertices on your TIN, you can turn off the digitize mode and triangulate your TIN to use your TIN in your hydrologic or hydraulic model.
