Transform points
Not Lite
Transform points action performs the same process as the Transform loaded points command.
If the transformation manipulates the Z values of the points in a way that they do not represent elevation values anymore but rather elevation differences, the macro must create a new copy of the data instead of overwriting the original files. This applies if you run the macro on a project or on selected files. These transformations include the types:
•Height from ground - elevation of each point is replaced by its height above ground. Ground is defined by points in one or more point classes.
•Height from TIN - elevation of each point is replaced by its height above a TIN model. The TIN model is defined by an active surface model in TerraModeler.
•Add TIN - elevation values of a TIN are added to the original elevation values of loaded points. The corresponds to an Adjust to geoid action which uses a TIN as geoid model. The TIN is defined by an active surface model in TerraModeler.
•Scale dZ from TIN - scaled elevation difference values between the loaded points and a TIN are added to the original elevation values of loaded points. The TIN is defined by an active surface model in TerraModeler.
Return value: Number of points that were effected by the process, -1 if the process failed due to a missing fence, -2 if the process was aborted, -3 if the process failed due to invalid parameters, -4 if the process failed due to a missing transformation.
