Hi Chip,

When first familiarizing myself with TINs, I found the following page 
helpful:

http://www.geog.ubc.ca/courses/klink/gis.notes/ncgia/u39.html

FME provides functionality to automatically generate TINs using a set of 
breaklines, and mass points.  For further reading along these lines you 
can check out the FME docs for their SurfaceModelFactory 
(http://www.safe.com/support/online-documentation/FFT/fft.htm)
