export surface to raster
The export surface to raster module will create a raster file in the GeoTiff format.
It takes any input field, and writes a raster (in plan view) of the data provided from that field. Regions outside of the input area are masked with an appropriate NoData flag. A single data component (node or cell) can be exported to the GeoTiff file.
Raster resolution can be controlled via the Grid Cell Size parameter, which will default (when linked) to a size which generates a raster of up to four million pixels, with fewer generated depending on how much the input shape deviates from having square extents.
When exporting certain cell data, such as Lithology, connecting the Geologic Legend Information port will allow the raster to include additional metadata in a raster dataset attribute table file. This additional file will allow programs such as ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro to automatically load the GeoTiff with proper names associated with each material.
Module Input Ports
- Input Field [Field] Accepts a field with data to export
- Geologic Legend Information Accepts the geologic information from an appropriate module, such as lithologic modeling, to associate data with names
