Smooth Surface dialog box

Opens via: TINEDIT command

The Smooth Surface dialog box allows you to smooth a TIN surface by adding additional points.

  1. Smoothing method
  2. Adding points
  3. Smoothing area
  4. Grid X spacing
  5. Grid Y spacing
  6. Grid rotation
  7. Number of added points
Smoothing method
Displays the method for smoothing the TIN surface.

The Natural neighbor interpolation algorithm finds the closest subset of input samples to a query point and applies weights to them based on proportionate areas to interpolate a value.

Adding points
Displays the method for adding points to the TIN surface.
Smoothing area
Defines the area for smoothing. You can choose to smooth the Entire surface or a Selected area. To select the area, click the right side arrow to define the area in the Model space.
Grid X spacing
Sets the grid X spacing value. You can also define it by clicking the distance in the Model space.
Grid Y spacing
Sets the grid Y spacing value. You can also define it by clicking the distance in the Model space.
Grid rotation
Sets the rotation value. You can also define it by clicking the desired angle in the Model space.
Number of added points
Displays the number of points to be added to the TIN surface.
Note:
  • If the number of added points exceeds one million, a warning message appears: "The number of added points is very high. It may take some time to smooth the surface."
  • If the number of added points exceeds 30 million, another warning message appears: "The number of added points exceeds the allowed limit. Increase the X and Y spacing or reduce the smoothing area."
