Description

By default, MinimizeResourceUsage is set to FALSE: if possible, it will construct TINs, from which to interpolate heights, using multiple terrain tiles at once. This applies to interpolation for both features and rasters. Whether or not it can do this depends on the amount of data required for the given area of interest, desired pyramid level, and available physical memory. This approach tends to improve performance at the expense of some memory resources. Setting the property to TRUE forces the terrain to triangulate no more than one tile at a time in memory, interpolating heights in an iterative, chunked, fashion. This sacrifices performance in favor of minimizing memory use.
