Summary
Modifies Z-values of 3D features.
Usage
Consider inverting Z values of bathymetry and other subsurface measurements that use positive values to denote depth.
The Convert From Units and Convert To Units parameters allow you to convert Z-values from one common unit of measure to another.
Syntax
Adjust3DZ_management (in_features, {reverse_sign}, {adjust_value}, {from_units}, {to_units})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_features | The 3D features whose Z values will be modified. | Feature Layer |
reverse_sign (Optional) | Specifies whether features will be inverted along the Z-axis.
| String |
adjust_value (Optional) | Uniformly adjusts all Z-values by the specified number. Entering a negative number will decrease the Z-value, whereas a positive number will increase it. | Double |
from_units (Optional) | The existing units of the Z-values. This parameter is used in conjunction with the Convert To Units parameter.
| String |
to_units (Optional) | The units that existing Z-values will be converted to.
| String |
Code sample
Adjust3DZ example 1 (Python window)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in the Python window.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.Adjust3DZ_management("subsurface_pts.shp", "REVERSE", 0, "METERS", "FEET")
Adjust3DZ example 2 (stand-alone script)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in a stand-alone Python script.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.Adjust3DZ_management("subsurface_pts.shp", "REVERSE", 0, "METERS", "FEET")
