LayerElevationType Enumeration

In This Topic

Specifies the available elevation modes or "types" for layers.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Enum LayerElevationType 
   Inherits System.Enum
   Implements System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable, System.ISpanFormattable

public enum LayerElevationType : System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable, System.ISpanFormattable

Members

Member	Description
AtAbsoluteHeight	Features that occur at a constant height above a datum, regardless of ground elevation.
None	No applicable elevation type
OnCustomSurface	Features that occur on a surface not represented by ground level.
OnGround	Features that are situated at ground level.
RelativeToCustomSurface	Features are relative to a custom surface.
RelativeToGround	Features that are placed at a known height above the ground.
RelativeToScene	Features will be vertically offset from the scene.

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);
}
