[GRASSLIST:758] TIN Esri format

Hi list,
I'd like to know if is it possible to import a TIN layer product by Esri
ArcGIS.

The files of this format have all the "adf" extension like other formats but
the different files have different name.
I tried to open it with Quantum GIS and to import it by v.in.ogr in GRASS but
without successs.

An example is at the link:
http://www.geoflyer.it/tmp/ESEMPIO_TIN/

Does someone know if to import this format is possible?
Thanks of all

Leonardo

you could flip the TIN to a GRID and import it that way i presume

I'd like to know if is it possible to import a TIN layer product by

Esri > ArcGIS.

you could flip the TIN to a GRID and import it that way i presume

TIN is just a surface of joined nodes so it would probably be more
accurate to extract the node point data and reinterpolate using
something better, e.g. v.surf.rst or v.surf.idw.

the node coordinates (X Y Z) could be extracted into a flat file using UNGENERATETIN. as far as i know, one would unfortunately need to use their sw to do this.
