Large Tin Area Displaying Maroon Rectangle

Post by Stan Gaynor »

Hi all,

Have recently started using 12d again & when i create a tin over any size area, the tin is showing up as a maroon rectangle with a yellow boundary when i am zoomed out to a certain extent. I can only view contours/tin triangles when i zoom right in which is not useful for viewing a job in it's entirety.

Not sure if this is a license issue or to do with the amount of points in a tin or if there a setting i need to adjust to stop this occurring? I haven't seen it before in previous usage/jobs. Any advice much appreciated?

On the project settings Panel. Project => Settings
Untick Use density

Then hit set.
The boxes aren't that useful when you're trying to see the full scope of your data.
If you attach a boundary to the tin and leave density on the boundary will be displayed in place of the dreaded red box.
Tins => Boundary => Boundary
Tick Attach to tin
