      The theory behind this is that you might want to give your TIN a starting shape before you begin using the Smoove tool to modify it. This allows for TINs that have much greater rotation than possible when starting with a flat TIN.

          Hi majid,

          BTW, really liked the whales. The spiral TIN was made by duplicating a single row TIN that I first twisted a little by selecting one of the long side lines and rotating that line slightly.
