In This Topic

Gets or sets the vertical exaggeration value.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Property VerticalExaggeration As Nullable(Of Double)

public Nullable<double> VerticalExaggeration {get; set;}

Remarks

The value specifies any vertical exaggeration of features. For example, specifying a vertical exaggeration value of 2.0 would multiply the feature elevation values by 2.0. VerticalExaggeration can be specified for a LayerElevationType of: LayerElevationType.AtAbsoluteHeight, LayerElevationType.RelativeToCustomSurface, and LayerElevationType.RelativeToGround otherwise it is ignored.

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);
}
