TINs can be contoured, displayed in oblique view with mapped images and hidden surfaces removed, and have several other [[GMS:TIN Display Options|display options]] that can be set to visualize and understand the terrain surface better. GMS also contains custom [[GMS:TIN Settings|settings]] for using TINs and allows TINs to be [[GMS:Converting TINS to Other Data Types|converted]] into other types of data, including [[GMS:Building Solids and 3D Meshes with TINs|solid models and 3D meshes]]. Through GMS it is possible to both import and export [[TIN Files|TIN files]]. | ||
Several TINs can be modeled at once in GMS. One of the TINs is designated as the "active" TIN. The selection and [[GMS:Editing a TIN|editing tools]] apply to the active TIN only. | Several TINs can be modeled at once in GMS. One of the TINs is designated as the "active" TIN.
