Add elevation surface programmatically

RehmSoftware

Hi,

is there a way to programmatically add a elevation surface to a map in ArcGis Pro? And while we're at it.. also add a elevation source to the new elevation surface? I know how to query a elevation surface and list the available surfaces but I didn't find a way to add new elevation surfaces.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Updating the ElevationSources of a map requires updating the MapDefinition. The basic approach is:

Call GetDefinition (to get the CIMMap definition)
Work through the array of ElevationSources to either update an existing source of add a new source. You'll need a CIMDataConnection for the data source path.
Call SetDefintion to push the changed back into the map.

I obviously haven't run it, but that seems right reading it over.

Hi Craig,

thanks a lot for you reply. Your solution seems to work 🙂 If you don't mind, would you look over my code to check whether it's okay? I use it to add a new elevation surface whose source is a TIN.
