thanks a lot!

From the looks of the file you've provided it would be easy to convert this to a LandXML TIN which you can import using 3D Analyst/Conversion/LandXML to TIN. See landxml.org for the details and examples. The converted TIN will be of the constrained Delauney type.

Oh, forgot, I'm using ArcMap 10.0 SP2.
