Terrain and polygon shp to ASCII

[mariaa]

I have a point shapefile with x,y and elevation(z) data. I used it to make a TIN.
I also have a shapefile with buildings and data about their heights.
Can I combine the terrain I have from the TIN and the 3D buildings in one file(?) of ESRI ASCII grid format?

Yes you can. Just follow these steps:

• Convert you TIN to raster (use an appropriate cell size)


• Convert you building shapefile to raster (use the height as value, and the same cell size)


• Combine both rasters using a CON statement (Spatial Analyst)


• Convert the resulting raster to ASCII grid

Kind regards,

Xander

Thank you very much! I will try it!
