Build Terrain (3D Analyst)

Resumen

Performs tasks required for analyzing and displaying a terrain dataset.

Uso

• Use this tool after initially defining the features that participate in a terrain or making subsequent modifications to its schema or participating features.

• Edits to the terrain schema consist of the following modifications:

  • Addition or removal of features to or from the terrain dataset
  • Modification of the terrain pyramid definition

• It is more efficient to make a collection of edits followed by one build rather than running a build after each individual edit.

Sintaxis

BuildTerrain_3d (in_terrain, {update_extent})

Parámetro	Explicación	Tipo de datos
in_terrain	The input terrain dataset.	Terrain Layer
update_extent (Opcional)	Update Extent is used to recalculate the data extent for a window size based terrain dataset when the data area has been reduced through editing. It is not needed if the data extent has increased or if the terrain dataset is z-tolerance based. It will scan through all the terrain data to determine the new extent. If the terrain is large it may be expensive in terms of I/O to run this option. NO_UPDATE_EXTENT — The extent of the terrain dataset will not be recalculated. This is the default. UPDATE_EXTENT — The extent of the terrain dataset will be recalculated.	String

Ejemplo de código

BuildTerrain example 1 (Python window)

The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in the Python window:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env

arcpy.CheckOutExtension('3D')
env.workspace = 'C:/data'
arcpy.BuildTerrain_3d('test.gdb/featuredataset/terrain')

BuildTerrain example 2 (stand-alone script)

The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in a stand-alone Python script:

"""****************************************************************************
Name: Create Terrain from TIN
Description: This script demonstrates how to create a terrain dataset using
             features extracted from a TIN. It is particularly useful in 
             situations where the source data used in the TIN is not available,
             and the amount of data stored in the TIN proves to be too large 
             for the TIN. The terrain's scalability will allow improved
             display performance and faster analysis. The script is designed 
             to work as a script tool with 5 input arguments.
