3D Surface -> 3D Line

Feature Description

Creates a dataset containing line objects by converting boundaries of 3D surfaces to lines.

  • All attributes of the input 3D surface data can be retained. The generated 3D line dataset will inherit the SmUserID field and all non-system field attributes from the source dataset.
  • When converting multiple surface features to lines, the projection of the resulting line data remains consistent with the source data (pre-conversion region dataset).
  • If the input layer contains compound objects, the output lines will remain compound. These can be decomposed into simple objects using the explode function.
