3D shapefiles represent features three-dimensionally and a TIN represents a surface three-dimensionally.
TINs represent features three-dimensionally and 3D shapefiles represent a surface three-dimensionally.
3D shapefiles cannot be displayed in ArcScene but TINs can.
TINs cannot be displayed in ArcScene but 3D shapefiles can.
2D shapefiles cannot be displayed in ArcScene.
2D shapefiles cannot be draped on a TIN surface
3D shapefiles have a Z value (height or elevation) associated with them.
2D shapefiles have a Z value (height or elevation) associated with them.
