TIN Settings

Settings for TINs:

Retriangulate After Deleting

If this option is on, the region surrounding the vertex is retriangulated as each vertex is deleted. Otherwise, the triangles adjacent to the vertex are simply deleted.

Adjust Boundary to Include Exterior Vertices

If this option is on, the boundary of the TIN is changed so that the new vertex becomes part of the TIN if a new point is added outside the active TIN. If the new vertex is in the interior of the active TIN, the vertex is automatically incorporated into the TIN.

Default Z-Value

The default z value is assigned to all new vertices created with the Create Vertex tool.

Confirm Z-Values

If this option is on, GMS prompts for a z value each time a new vertex is created.

Interpolate For Default Z On Interior

If this option is on and a new vertex is created in the interior of a TIN, a default z-value is linearly interpolated from the plane equation defined by the triangle containing the point.

Extrapolate For Default Z On Exterior

If this option is on and a new vertex is entered outside the TIN boundary, a default z-value is extrapolated from the TIN to the new vertex.
