Drawing TIN nodes by elevation

In ArcMap and ArcScene you can display nodes of a triangulated irregular network (TIN) . These steps describe how to display TIN nodes by elevation.

Steps:

1. Right-click the triangulated irregular network (TIN) in the table of contents and select Properties.
2. Click the Symbology tab.
3. Uncheck Elevation (or any other TIN face renderer that is checked).
4. Click Add.
5. Click Node elevation with graduated color ramp.
6. Click Add.
7. Click Dismiss.
8. Click the Color Ramp drop-down arrow and click a color ramp.
9. Click OK.

The TIN nodes are rendered with colors to indicate their elevation. You can also often see the soft and hard edges, which are on by default if the TIN has them.

Tip:

You can also display TIN nodes by tag value or by the same symbol. To display tag values select the Node tag value grouped with unique symbol symbology renderer instead of the Node elevation with graduated color ramp symbology renderer. To display nodes with the same symbol select the Nodes with the same symbol symbology renderer instead of the Node elevation with graduated color ramp symbology renderer.
