Special Topics in GIS (GIS5935): Lab 7


In this week's lab, we explored TIN and DEM elevation models which we compare and contrast the models to each other. In the image above, shows the hard breakline of the bearlake.shp which is not present in the current data. This data was inserted by using the Edit TIN in ArcScene which the edges of the touching the lake feature replaced by hard edges. This allow for the outline shape of the lake to be present in the TIN data without needing the present of the lake shapefile dataset. The kind of technique is unique to TIN model since the lake feature's edge are imbedded into the model unlike the DEM model where the data would have to be on its own shapefile.
