BIS To Mosaic Dataset (Bathymetry)

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates a mosaic dataset from a Bathymetric Information System (BIS).

Usage

  • The mosaic dataset must be created in an enterprise or file geodatabase.

  • The Output Mosaic Dataset parameter value must be a workspace other than the Input BIS Workspace parameter value.

  • The name of the mosaic dataset must be in accordance with the limits of the geodatabase or underlying database; for example, the name cannot start with a number.

  • If no coordinate system is provided, WGS84 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) will be used by default.

  • If the Force Overview Tiles parameter is checked, overviews will be created at all levels. Otherwise, overviews will only be created above the raster pyramid levels.

Parameters

If no coordinate system is provided, WGS84 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) will be used by default.

Coordinate System
Query File
(Optional)

The model or rule file that defines the datasets and sorting order that will be applied to the rasters included in the output mosaic dataset.

  • Model file (*.model)—Defines the data to be exported from the BIS. Only the specified rasters will be exported to the mosaic dataset.
  • Rule file (*.rule)—Defines the sorting order rules for the output data. All rasters in the BIS will be exported to the mosaic dataset.

If no query file is provided, all rasters in the BIS will be exported.

File
Create Overviews
(Optional)

Specifies whether overviews for a mosaic dataset will be defined and generated.

  • Checked—Overviews will be defined and generated.
  • Unchecked—Overviews will not be defined or generated. This is the default.
Boolean
Force Overview Tiles
(Optional)

Specifies whether overviews will be created at all levels or only above existing pyramid levels.

  • Checked—Overviews will be created at all levels.
  • Unchecked—Overviews will only be created above the raster pyramid levels. This is the default.
