Hi. every one. I want create a Tin surface raster image of ,adf format for my civil 3d's surface.

All right, man, let's... conversate.

First, a TIN surface is a vector stuff, not raster.

Second, you should check if your ADF file is a Dem, i.e. a raster containing elevations: if you have no idea about, please upload it here, thx.

When we receive *.adf files from our provider, we get this list of files for each "tile". (Our county is divided into tiles for surfaces because Civil 3D can't handle the whole thing).  The largest size adf file is the one that contains the surface data.  What I like about the adf files is that when the edge of the tile is reached, the coutours don't triangulate across the edge.
