This command draws a triangulation (.flt or .tin) file as either 3D LINES or 3DFACEs. Since 3DFACE entities can be shaded within the 3D Viewer Window or 3D Surface FlyOver, or with the AutoCAD 3D Orbit command, this is an excellent tool for visual surface inspection. 3D Lines cannot be shaded.
Triangulation (.flt or .tin) files can be created by Triangulate & Contour.
