Triangulation
The Triangulation from Points tool generates a mesh of interconnected triangles by connecting a given set of points. This process creates a network of triangles that can be used for surface modeling, terrain analysis, and interpolation of spatial data. The resulting triangular mesh provides a foundation for advanced GIS and CAD operations, ensuring accurate representation of complex spatial structures..
The SPMTRIANGULATION command creates a triangulated irregular network (TIN) from the vertices of selected entities or from point entities.
Triangulation Options
- Source: select the entities to create triangulation from their vertices (review selection control options).
- Options
- Layer/Table name: specify the layer where the created polygons will be placed and the table name for attached data.
- Apply random colors to new layers: if checked, the created layers will be assigned random colors.
- Fill with hatches: the resulting closed polylines can be filled with hatches.
