Importing TIN data

Importing TIN data

Importing TIN data

(OP)
I received a .tin file from an aerial topography company and am trying to create my own surface using this file.  Can this be done?  It seems to me that it should be a fairly simple procedure, but the solution is eluding me at the moment.  I am running AutoCAD C3D LDC 2009...basically land desktop.

RE: Importing TIN data

If you do Create Surface from TIN it will want an accompanying .pnt file.

Like francesca said, it wants the .pnt file, which I do not have.  Any other ideas?
