Description

GetPointCount returns the number of points and breakline vertices, at a particular pyramid level, for those terrain tiles intersected by a given envelope. This yields a relatively quick estimate, albeit over-estimated, of the size of the terrain for that area and vertical tolerance. Only 3-D measurements are counted. Z-less line and polygon vertices are excluded.

GetPointCount will return an error when called on a terrain that is in need of being built. That is, when ITerrain.IsValid returns FALSE. Ensure the terrain IsValid before calling this member.
