How to export TINs in ADF format from ArcGIS in a format that XMS will read
- Load the TIN into ArcMap
- Expand the 3D Analyst Tools | Conversion Tools | From TIN toolset in ArcToolbox
- Double-click the TIN to Raster tool in ArcToolbox (specify your current TIN file in the Input TIN field). Make a note of the path in the Output Raster field.
- Expand the Conversion Tools | From Raster toolset in ArcToolbox
- Double-click the Raster to ASCII tool in ArcToolbox (specify the raster file that you created in the previous step as the input raster, and make a note of the path for the output file)
- Open Windows Explorer (My Computer) and browse to the location of the ASCII *.txt file output in step 5
- Make a copy of the *.txt file created in step 5
- Change the extension of the *.txt file to *.dem
- Open the *.dem file in WMS
