This works best when used with the following points: x1,y1,z1; x2,y1,z1; x1,y2,z1; x1,y1,z2 (where x1, x2, y1 and y2 are very close together) Use TIN interpolation and set your maximum triangle side length to an appropriately small size. With this, you may create tall, individual tetrahedrons (pyramids with triangular bases). If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.
