Raster Domain (3D Analyst)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Constructs a 3D polygon or polyline delineating the height along the boundary of a raster surface.

Raster Domain input and output

Usage

  • The tool is designed to operate on a raster surface and will only operate on a single-band raster or a specific band from a multi-band raster. The output feature captures the boundary of contiguous cells with data values, and its z value is interpolated along the perimeter of the surface. The perimeter is defined by connecting the center of the outermost cells in the raster.

  • Output geometry is placed in one feature record and may comprise of multipart feature if the raster has discontinuous data cells separated by NoData cells.

    Note:

    3D polygons only contain elevation values along the perimeter of the features, as interior portions of the polygon will not contain any vertices. When drawn in 3D with an area fill, the boundary vertices are arbitrarily connected to triangles for rendering. Unless the polygon is planar, either sloped or horizontal, it's unlikely the fill will accurately represent the interior surface. For this reason, it is recommended that you draw nonplanar 3D polygons without fill symbology.
