Importing TIN data

[hydroponder]

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.

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

Create a project and import the .tin. Did you get this to work?

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