Is there a function in Carlson's surface module to apply a vertical shift to the tin model? I know I can just copy the tin model by applying a different z value to the destination (0,0,0 to 0,0,0.21 for example)and then re-tinning that. But I was wondering it there's a copy function with the delta z as a built in component. I remember Eagle Point used to have something like that.

Thanks in advance . .

ps I see Ladd Nelson had a solution using "tinutil" function but that seems to need Carlson Takeoff.

Does the standalone have Triangulation File Utilities under the Surface menu?

That must be inside the Civil module. The survey 2012 menu doesn't have that item. I just move the triangles up or down and re-tin.

There was a menu/command oversight in pre-2012 versions of Carlson Survey where the Triangulation File Utilities command was errantly left out of the menu-pull. It's TINUTIL key-in equivalent should still work in these previous versions. The command should be available in 2012 Survey menus. Look for Surface -- Triangulation File Utilities.

Thanks, Ladd. Looks like I still have the 2011 menu loaded. I'll fix it 🙂
