Create a raster grid in vertical plane from xyz data

ShaneCarey — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 14:24:20 GMT

Hi

I need to create a grid of the point dataset (image attached) and export as a .grd file so that it can imported into ArcScene. I am using python xy and mayavi library to visualise this data.

If anyone could help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shane,

You can use the IDW tool to interpolate a raster surface from points. The resulting raster can then be used in ArcScene.

Hey,

For some reason, idw will not work. I think this is because I'm working in a vertical plane as opposed to a horizontal plane. Is there a way to possibly flip the data by 90 degres so that it is on a horizontal plane, create the grid and reflip back perhaps?

Thanks
