Summary
The GT_PL_INTER command in GeoTools is designed to interpolate missing elevation values (Z) in polylines, ensuring smooth elevation transitions within BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Process -> Assign Interpolated Z values to vertices
Assign Interpolated Z values to vertices: GT_PL_INTER – GeoTools Command
Key Features Include:
- Automatic Elevation Interpolation – Assigns interpolated Z values to vertices with zero elevation based on adjacent non-zero elevation points.
- Linear Distance Interpolation – Uses a proportional method to estimate missing Z values between existing non-zero vertices.
- Custom Zero Tolerance – Allows defining a threshold for treating near-zero values as zero.
- Optional Output File Generation:
- Create Interpolation Report – Saves the results in a text file for analysis.
- User-Defined Output Path – Specify a custom location for saving interpolation data.
- Run in Silent Mode – Option to hide the dialog and execute the command with pre-set configurations.
Benefits:
This tool is highly beneficial for topographic modeling, GIS applications, and infrastructure design, where maintaining consistent elevation data is crucial.
