The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is an irregular grid of 3D points (x,y,z) with the density of the grid varying, dependent upon the terrain. Full breaklines are included as part of the data set. Typically, the DTM is used to generate Triangular Irregular Networks (TINs) for the purposes of 3D modelling and analysis.
