Remarks
Allows you to specify whether features display on the ground, relative to the ground (for 3D layers only), at an absolute height, etc. Once an elevation type definition is defined, call SetElevationTypeDefinition to apply it.
Example
Set Elevation Mode for a layer
{
//Note: needs to be called on the MCT
ElevationTypeDefinition elevationTypeDefinition = featureLayer.GetElevationTypeDefinition();
elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.OnGround;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToGround;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToScene;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.AtAbsoluteHeight;
//..so on.
//Optional: Specify the cartographic offset
elevationTypeDefinition.CartographicOffset = 1000;
//Optional: Specify the VerticalExaggeration
elevationTypeDefinition.VerticalExaggeration = 2;
if (featureLayer.CanSetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition))
featureLayer.SetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition);
}
