Derricke,

Can you explain why the TIN files are not compatible?

You might be able to use an ASCII dat file.

Before LandXML, we used to use 3d graphics of breaklines, points and boundary elements to go between InRoads and GEOPAK.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I found that after importing the XML in Geopak V8 2004, there were a couple of spikes in the tin file. Extracting graphic triangles produces an exact copy, so that is what we will utilize.

You can export XML ... or you can just send them the 3D graphical triangles DGN file and they can create the TIN from that.

You can export to XML. I'm pretty sure they can import XML files.
