Multipatch to Raster

Converts multipatch features to a raster dataset.

1.    Input multipatch features

The input multipatch features to be converted to a raster.

2.    Output raster

The output raster dataset to be created.

It will be of floating-point type.

When not saving to a geodatabase, specify .tif for a TIFF file format, .CRF for CRF file format, .img for an ERDAS IMAGINE file format, or no extension for an Esri Grid raster format.

3.    Output cell size (optional)

The cell size for the output raster being created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn’t been explicitly specified as the parameter value, then the environment cell size value is used if specified; otherwise some additional rules are used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

Point to Raster

Converts point features to a raster dataset.

1.    Input Features

The point or multipoint input feature dataset to be converted to a raster.

2.    Value field

The field used to assign values to the output raster.

It can be any field of the input feature dataset's attribute table.

If the Shape field of a point or multipoint dataset contains z or m values, then either of these can be used.

3.    Output Raster Dataset

The output raster dataset to be created.

When not saving to a geodatabase, specify .tif for a TIFF file format, .CRF for CRF file format, .img for an ERDAS IMAGINE file format, or no extension for an Esri Grid raster format.

4.    Cell assignment type (optional)

The method to determine how the cell will be assigned a value when more than one feature falls within a cell.

  1. MOST_FREQUENT—If there is more than one feature within the cell, the one with the most common attribute, in the Value field, is assigned to the cell. If they have the same number of common attributes, the one with the lowest FID is used.
  2. SUM—The sum of the attributes of all the points within the cell (not valid for string data).
  3. MEAN—The mean of the attributes of all the points within the cell (not valid for string data).
  4. STANDARD_DEVIATION—The standard deviation of attributes of all the points within the cell. If there are less than two points in the cell, the cell is assigned NoData (not valid for string data).
  5. MAXIMUM—The maximum value of the attributes of the points within the cell (not valid for string data).
  6. MINIMUM—The minimum value of the attributes of the points within the cell (not valid for string data).
  7. RANGE—The range of the attributes of the points within the cell (not valid for string data).
  8. COUNT—The number of points within the cell.

5.    Priority field (optional)

This field is used when a feature should take preference over another feature with the same attribute.

Priority field is only used with the MOST_FREQUENT cell assignment type option.

6.    Cell size (optional)

 The cell size for the output raster being created.

 This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn’t been explicitly specified as the parameter value, then the environment cell size value is used if specified; otherwise some additional rules are used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

Polygon to Raster

Converts polygon features to a raster dataset.

1.    Input Features

The polygon input feature dataset to be converted to a raster.

2.    Value field

The field used to assign values to the output raster.

It can be any field of the input feature dataset's attribute table.

3.    Output Raster Dataset

The output raster dataset to be created.

When not saving to a geodatabase, specify .tif for a TIFF file format, .CRF for CRF file format, .img for an ERDAS IMAGINE file format, or no extension for an Esri Grid raster format.

4.    Cell assignment type (optional)

The method to determine how the cell will be assigned a value when more than one feature falls within a cell.

  1. CELL_CENTER—The polygon that overlaps the center of the cell yields the attribute to assign to the cell.
  2. MAXIMUM_AREA—The single feature with the largest area within the cell yields the attribute to assign to the cell.
  3. MAXIMUM_COMBINED_AREA—If there is more than one feature in a cell with the same value, the areas of these features will be combined. The combined feature with the largest area within the cell will determine the value to assign to the cell.

5.    Priority field (optional)

This field is used to determine which feature should take preference over another feature that falls over a cell. When it is used, the feature with the largest positive priority is always selected for conversion irrespective of the Cell assignment type chosen.

6.    Cell size (optional)

The cell size for the output raster being created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn’t been explicitly specified as the parameter value, then the environment cell size value is used if specified; otherwise some additional rules are used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.
