A client wants us to provide them with an InRoads digital terrain model (DTM) for a project we are doing. However, we are only used to creating ".tin" files using the build DTM tool in our "ODOT cadd Power GEOPAK SS4" version of microstation.
is there a difference between a DTM and a TIN? or are they the same thing just named differently?
how can we convert a TIN to a DTM if they are different?
Thanks,
Adam
They are different formats. You can export a landxml from the tin file and viceversa.

Unless i am misunderstanding your verbage, we arent trying to make a landxml. the following pictures are what i have for options when exporting
i see no options for exporting Triangle TIN to DTM
You will export your TIN to a LandXML file. That XML file can then be used by other software packages to create a DTM.
