Contour from TIN File

This command creates contours directly from a TIN file (.flt or .tin) without the need to have the TIN drawn on the screen. The routine starts by opening the dialog for Triangulate and Contour, allowing the user to specify triangulation, contour and label settings. After pressing OK on the initial dialog, a second dialog opens, allowing for the selection of the TIN file from which to create the contours. 

See the Triangulate and Contour section in the manual for a detailed description of each of the settings. 

Fill out the Triangulate and Contour Dialog information with the desired options.
Select the desired TIN file and choose Open.
