Merging DEMs

For the purposes of contour creation, temporary rasters can be generated using the original digital elevation model (DEM) files with the Merge And Filter DEMs tool. When the DEMs are merged, they are combined into a single new DEM that can be used for contour generation without modifying your original DEMs.

Примечание:

You must have the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst enabled to perform this task. For information on enabling the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst , see Enabling the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension.
