Smooth Surface dialog box
Opens via: TINEDIT command
The Smooth Surface dialog box allows you to smooth a TIN surface by adding additional points.

- Smoothing method
- Adding points
- Smoothing area
- Grid X spacing
- Grid Y spacing
- Grid rotation
- 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."
