How to Create DTM From String on Micromine

Hello everyone, welcome to Free GIS Tutorial website. Today we are going to learn how to create DTM from String file on Micromine. Micromine is a great GIS software that can easily convert or create DTM from string file. Before we can create DTM file, make sure you have Z information on the file. Z values can be elevation, geochemistry and other type of data. On this example, I have elevation contour string file I imported from Mapinfo.

This is the final product of the DTM file converted from the string file
