3D Line -> 3D Surface
Feature Description
Converting 3D line data to 3D surface data involves connecting the start and end points of each line object in a 3D line dataset to form a surface object. The start and end points are connected via the shortest straight-line distance to form a surface object.
When a line object is a single straight line with zero surface area, the conversion will fail. This feature is typically used when users need to create surfaces from individual line objects. To create surfaces from multiple closed line objects, use the construct polygons feature.
- If the input line layer contains compounds, the output surface data will retain compound structures. These can be decomposed into simple objects using the explode feature.
- The generated region dataset (or appended dataset) inherits the SmUserID field and all non-system field attributes from the source dataset.
