Description
Documentation on TUFLOW Wiki
This tool acts as an alternative method to using the native "MERGE" functionality in TUFLOW for 2d_zsh polygons by explicitly assigning elevation points (in a 2d_zsh template) along the polygon perimeter.
It is recommended to use this tool for Quadtree models, rather than the "MERGE" functionality, where the 2d_zsh input crosses Quadtree nesting levels.
It is recommended to prefix the output layer names with '2d_zsh'.
Parameters
- Polygon Layer: The polygon layer that will have elevation points created for it.
- Raster Layer: The raster (DEM) layer that will be used to determine the elevations of the output points.
- Vertex Distribution Option: Determines how the vertices will be distributed along the polygon perimeter.
- Densify: Additional vertices will be inserted along the perimeter of the polygon layer at regular intervals (defined by "Vertex Interval"). This option is recommended unless the polygon layer has a negative 'Shape_Width' value, and a sufficient number of vertices.
- Use Existing: Elevations will be assigned to the existing vertices of the polygon layer. This option should only be used if the polygon layer has a negative 'Shape_Width' value, and a sufficient number of vertices.
- Vertex Interval (only used for Densify): The length of the interval between the vertices to be created (in map units). This value should be set to the smaller of the following:
- Half the model cell size
- The finest Quadtree level
