Tool | CZMIL > Generate Water Surface Elevation Outputs (Tools window) |
The Generate Water Surface Elevation Outputs process model is used to create a TIFF image and/or CSAR surface using elevation values found in a survey file. Points in the resulting file can then be selected and exported to a KML file for use as a control file in the Georeference CZMIL Data process. This is useful if the survey data being georeferenced has missing or unreliable surface returns.
