In your case the top of wall is closer to the adjacent ground at the bottom of the wall so the TIN forms from the bottom ground points to the top of wall. One of the rules of a TIN is any point on the surface can have only one elevation. Thus a TIN cannot model overhangs such as an outcrop on a cliff or a leaning wall. I cannot think of any way to solve your problem using a TIN.</p> <p>You&#39;ll have to consider your ultimate objective and devise a way to achieve it without using the TIN. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
