ArcObjects Library Reference (GeoDatabaseExtensions)  

ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource Interface

Provides access to members associated with embedded data sources.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

ITerrainEmbeddedDataSource is used to indicate whether a multipoint data source will be embedded during the terrain build process and whether or not any LAS based (i.e. attributes originating from LAS files) LIDAR attributes will be embedded along with them. 

Embedding involves copying the multipoints, and the optional attributes, into the terrain. The terrain becomes their primary container. A reference to the source feature class is not maintained. It may be deleted after the terrain is built.

 

Notes:

Embedded points falling inside replace polygons will have their persisted heights changed to match the replace value(s) of the polygons.

Embedded points that are (near) coincident in XY will be snapped.
