GRID merge or other solution?

[bartwillemse]

Hi
I need to merge two adjacend grids. Since the merge command seems to be vanished (nice job ESRI, sarcasm = on). Tried to use Pick and Con but even that does not work (results outside the inraster????)  Does anyone know a working workaround. Need one today...
PLZZZ

arcGIS 9.3.1 ArcINFO With spatial analyst & 3D

raster2feature does not work with grids. conversion from grid to ? is not an option since the conversion results in massive data loss/alteration.

Use Data Management >> Raster >> Mosaic To New Raster tool. It will do what you want.

Another alternative is the Cell Statistics tool, which an be used to pick the maximum, minimum or mean when the cells overlap.

Or, you can also go old-school:

expr = "merge({0},{1})".format("grid1","grid2")
arcpy.gp.SingleOutputMapAlgebra_sa(expr, "xmerge")
