Re: Approach to work with large tin

ahh, super tins perhaps you can contour the original tin, use Global utilities filter to remove points from those, and create a new tin from contours there will be a quality degradation depending on contour interval, plus contours are not that great to tin, but it might reduce the data to something ...
