[GRASS-user] import ascii error + how to build a tin

[Michael Barton]

You may want to build a TIN for other reasons, but (unlike ArcGIS) you don¹t
need it in GRASS for displaying shaded relief maps and 2.5 (or even 3D)
maps.

There is a shaded relief module (r.shaded.relief) that runs directly from a
raster map. You can get 2.5-4D displays in NVIZ directly from rasters and
volumes (and 3D vectors too) without making a TIN.
