Adjust 3D Z (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Modifies z-values of 3D features.

Usage

Caution:

This tool modifies the input data. See Tools that modify or update the input data for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.

  • Consider inverting z-values of bathymetry and other subsurface measurements that use positive values to denote depth.

  • Use the Convert From Units and Convert To Units parameters to convert z-values from one common unit of measure to another.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Features

The 3D features with the z-values that will be modified.

Feature Layer

Reverse Sign of Z Values

(Optional)

Specifies whether features will be inverted along the z-axis.

  • Reverse Z Orientation—The sign of z-values will be inverted causing the feature to flip upside down.

  • Maintain Z Orientation—The sign of z-values will not be inverted; it will be maintained. This is the default.

String

Adjust Z Value

(Optional)

A numeric value or field from the input features that will be used to adjust the z of each vertex in the input features. A positive value will shift the feature higher, while a negative number will shift it lower along the z-axis.

Double; Field

Convert From Units

(Optional)

Specifies the existing units of the z-values. This parameter is used in conjunction with the Convert To Units parameter.

  • Millimeters—The units will be millimeters.

  • Centimeters—The units will be centimeters.

  • Meters—The units will be meters.

  • Inches—The units will be inches.

  • Feet—The units will be feet.

  • Yards—The units will be yards.

  • Fathoms—The units will be fathoms.

String

Convert To Units

(Optional)

Specifies the units that existing z-values will be converted to.

  • Millimeters—The units will be millimeters.

  • Centimeters—The units will be centimeters.

  • Meters—The units will be meters.

  • Inches—The units will be inches.

  • Feet—The units will be feet.

  • Yards—The units will be yards.

  • Fathoms—The units will be fathoms.
