make-dtm-from-objects

This command has been maintained for legacy script support only.

For interactive DTM creation, consider dtm-create which includes the ability to define limits.

Script Example

// unload any existing data

oDmApp.ActiveProject.Data.UnloadAll();

// load our example points file - NB this example file is Extended Precision and should require an EP project to run it

// although it should still work if the error message is ignored.

oDmApp.ActiveProject.Data.LoadFile("C:\\Database\\Datamine Software\\example.dmx");

// fetch the Iew3DObject interface to this object

var oEwPoints = oDmApp.ActiveProject.Data.LastObjectAdded

// obtain the overlay interface from the 3D window

var oEwPointOverlay = oDmApp.ActiveProject.Design.GetActiveOverlay(oEwPoints);

// since the dtm command now works on selected objects, we need to ensure that the overlay is selected

// in the 3D window.

oEwPointOverlay.IsObjectSelected = true;

// now we can run the make dtm command and select a suitable colour for the DTM

oDmApp.ParseCommand("make-dtm-from-objects 'select-colour-9'"+
