Parameter

Comments

Input Grid

<raster_layer>

Input Grid in ArcGIS supported formats.

Raster Band

{raster_band}

Raster band index to be used in conversion. Indexes start with 0, and as DEMs are single-band rasters then the raster band index is 0 in most cases for this tool.

Output Storage

<output_dataset>

Output polyline feature class.

Z Field Name

{z_field}

Name of the field with Z values in the output feature class.

Base Contour

{base_contour}

Base contour value.

Contour Interval

{contour_interval}

An interval between each two contours.

Z Factor

{value_factor}

Z scaling multiplier.

Drop Bounding Contours

{drop_bounding_contours}

Specifies if bounding contours should be dropped in the output contours.

Note:

This XTools Pro geoprocessing tool is identical to the XTools Pro Grid to Contours surface tool.
