MAGNET Collage: Create a TIN

Before using this functions, it is required that a Model project has been created and that point cloud(s) have been imported to this model.

It is impossible to create TINs in the following conditions:

• Importing point clouds into a model project whose coordinate system is ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed)

• Selecting more than one point cloud with different coordinate systems

• The number of selected points is fewer than 3.

Select the points from the point clouds using the available cloud selection tools:

• Rectangle

• Polygon

• All

• Invert

• Once selection is made, two ways to create a new TIN are available:
  • Right-click TIN folder in Model Project on Workspace, then select "Create TIN"
  • Select Tools on the top Ribbon, and the click "TIN"
• Select the ground sampling distance and also Surface Policy (Low, High, Average, Most central)
• Click Start to generate the TIN

• It is possible to set a specific color range for TINs. There are two ways to display the Color Range window:

  • Right click on the Model Project in Workspace window, select Edit Color Range

  • Select Edit tab on the Ribbon and then click Color Range

• Chose TIN in the drop down list in Target.
• Adjust the color range, either by using the slide bars or typing specific values.
