Curvature

Calculates the curvature of a raster surface, optionally including profile and plan curvature.



1. Input raster

The input surface raster.

2. Output curvature raster

The output curvature raster.

It will be floating-point type.

3. Z factor (optional)

Number of ground x,y units in one surface z-unit.

The z-factor adjusts the units of measure for the z-units when they are different from the x,y units of the input surface. The z-values of the input surface are multiplied by the z-factor when calculating the final output surface.

If the x,y units and z-units are in the same units of measure, the z-factor is 1. This is the default.

If the x,y units and z-units are in different units of measure, the z-factor must be set to the appropriate factor, or the results will be incorrect. For example, if your z-units are feet and your x,y units are meters, you would use a z-factor of 0.3048 to convert your z-units from feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meter).

4. Output profile curve raster (optional)

Output profile curve raster dataset.

This is the curvature of the surface in the direction of slope.

It will be floating-point type.

5. Output plan curve raster (optional)

Output plan curve raster dataset.

This is the curvature of the surface perpendicular to the slope direction.

It will be floating-point type.

Cut Fill

Calculates the volume change between two surfaces. This is typically used for cut and fill operations.



1. Input before raster surface

The input representing the surface before the cut or fill operation.

2. Input after raster surface

The input representing the surface after the cut or fill operation.

3. Output raster

The output raster defining regions of cut and of fill.

The values show the locations and amounts where the surface has been added to or removed from.

4. Z factor (optional)

Number of ground x,y units in one surface z-unit.

The z-factor adjusts the units of measure for the z-units when they are different from the x,y units of the input surface. The z-values of the input surface are multiplied by the z-factor when calculating the final output surface.

If the x,y units and z-units are in the same units of measure, the z-factor is 1. This is the default.

If the x,y units and z-units are in different units of measure, the z-factor must be set to the appropriate factor, or the results will be incorrect. For example, if your z-units are feet and your x,y units are meters, you would use a z-factor of 0.3048 to convert your z-units from feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meter).
