Editing TIN Vertex Coordinates

Two methods of editing TIN vertex coordinates are available. To manipulate vertex coordinates, the Select Vertex tool must be selected.

  1. A vertex can be moved to a new position by clicking on the vertex and holding down the mouse button while dragging the vertex to the desired position. If the current view is plan view, dragging the vertex causes it to move in the xy plane. GMS does not allow the vertex to be dragged to a position where one of the surrounding triangles becomes inverted. If the current view is not the plan view, the vertex moves along the z-axis.

  2. The vertex position and z value can also be manipulated by selecting the vertex and changing the XYZ values that will appear in the x, y, and z edit boxes in the Edit Window.
