TIN stands for Triangulated Irregular Network. TINs are used for surface modeling. TINs are formed by connecting a set of XYZ points with edges to form a network of triangles. TINs can be used to represent the surface of a geologic unit or the surface defined by a mathematical function. | TIN stands for Triangulated Irregular Network. TINs are used for surface modeling.

Several TINs can be modeled at once in GMS. One of the TINs is designated as the "active" TIN. The selection and editing tools apply to the active TIN only. | GMS provides a variety of tools for manipulating TINs as well as the means to adjust the display of TINs to meet the project needs. GMS also contains custom settings for using TINs and allows TINs to be converted into other types of data. | ||
