ETG_FeaturesTo3DRaster

Features To 3D from Raster

Convert 2D feature classes to 3D feature classes by interpolating the Z values from a reference Raster dataset.

Input feature dataset.
Output feature dataset.
Reference Raster dataset.
Sample distance - a Double indicating the distance along the line at which new vertices will be added.

Z values for each point or vertex are obtained from the cell in which the point or vertex is located.
For Polyline and Polygon features additional vertices will be added to the geometry at the sample distance specified. If sample distance is not assigned or set to 0, no new vertices will be added - Z values will be interpolated for the original vertices only.
The attributes of the input dataset are preserved.

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	FeaturesTo3DRaster
<input dataset>	A String representing the input feature dataset.
<output dataset>	A String - the full name of the output dataset.
<reference raster>	A String - the full name of the reference Raster dataset.
{sample distance}	A Double representing the sample distance.

ETGWPath used in the table below is the full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETSurface\ETSRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETSPath, "FeaturesTo3DRaster", "input dataset", "output dataset", "reference raster", "sample distance"])
.NET using ETSRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETSPath StartInfo.Arguments = "FeaturesTo3DRaster" "input dataset" "output dataset" "reference raster" "sample distance"
.NET using ETSOutX.dll	FeaturesTo3DRaster(input dataset, output dataset, reference raster, sample distance)
ArcPy	arcpy.FeaturesTo3DRaster("input dataset", "output dataset", "reference raster", "sample distance")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
