Create elevation layer for ArcGIS Unreal Plugin

MarkG — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 16:15:36 GMT

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and am trying to create an elevation layer to replace the Terrain 3D layer in ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal. I don't want to use online data as I have my own DTED and GeoTIF elevation data.

I'm a novice with ArcGIS Pro and I seem to be going round in circles, so any pointers would help please.

Thanks for the pointers Charles, however I note in the examples it is using online URLs and I need this to run completely offline.

string uri = @"C:\Local\Data\On\My\Disk\some_prj_tin";
var createParams = new ElevationLayerCreationParams(new Uri(uri));

etc, etc per the examples
