Description
The ExportRasterToSTL process exports raster band values to the STL format for 3D printing.
Inputs
A raster surface in a supported format.
Outputs
An STL (STereoLithography) file.
Command Line Syntax
carisbatch --run ExportRasterToSTL --include-band <value> [options] <input> <output>
User Interface Command
Export Raster
Options
The following table describes the parameters available for this process.
Parameter |
| |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Long | Short | Description | Can Repeat | Notes
|
--vertical-exaggeration | V | A number specifying the multiplier for each band value. This must be a positive number. The default value is 1.0. | FALSE | |
--include-band | b | A string specifying the name of a band to include in the output. The band must contain elevation data. | FALSE | This must be specified explicitly. |
--scale | s | A number specifying the scaling to apply to x, y and z values (1:scale). This must be a positive number. The default value is 1.0. | FALSE | |
--output-as-ascii | o | If set, an ASCII output is created. By default, a binary output is created. | FALSE | |
Example
To use this command refer to the following example.
Example | ||
|---|---|---|
Objective | You want to create an STL file from a raster dataset in order to print to a 3D printer. | |
Description | Command Line Syntax | |
The depth band is included in the output. | --include-band Depth | |
The vertical exaggeration is 2. | --vertical-exaggeration 2 | |
The scale of the data is 1:100. | --scale 100 | |
The input raster dataset is Surace1.csar. | D:\BatchSample\Surface1.csar | |
The output STL file will be called 3DPrint.stl. | D:\BatchSample\3DPrint.stl | |
