Scatter point sets are used for interpolation to other data types such as TINs, grids, and meshes. A 2D grid can be created which will just enclose the scatter points by using the [[GMS:3D Scatter Point Module#Bounding Grid|'''Bounding Grid''']] command in the ''Scatter Points'' menu. Interpolation is useful for such tasks as contouring or setting up input data to a model. Since no interpolation scheme is superior in all cases, several [[GMS:Interpolation|interpolation]] techniques are provided in GMS. | Scatter point sets are used for interpolation to other data types such as TINs, grids, and meshes.

The basic approach to performing an interpolation is to select an appropriate interpolation scheme and interpolation parameters, and then interpolate to the desired object using one of the [[GMS:Interpolation Commands|2D Interpolation Commands]]. | The basic approach to performing an interpolation is to select an appropriate interpolation scheme and interpolation parameters, and then interpolate to the desired object using one of the [[GMS:Interpolation Commands|2D Interpolation Commands]]. | ||
