Parameter NameTypeDirectionData TypeDialog Reference
Input Line Feature ClassRequiredInputFeature SetInput lines feature class used to burn into the DEM.
Input DEM RasterRequiredInputRaster LayerInput DEM raster that will be burnt in.
Burn MethodOptionalInputStringInterpolate (Default)
  • Takes the from and to vertex of the input line feature class and retrieves their underlying DEM elevation values. Once elevation is know at the start and end point of the line, the tool creates a slope and interpolates elevation based on the slope, burning it into the output DEM raster.
  • Minimum
  • Finds the minimum cell value of the DEM underneath the input line feature class and burns that value into the output DEM for all cells that are underneath the line.
  • Maximum
  • Finds the maximum cell value of the DEM underneath the input line feature class and burns that value into the output DEM for all cells that are underneath the line.
  • Mean
  • Calculates a mean value from all cell values of the DEM underneath the input line feature class and burns that value into the output DEM for all cells that are underneath the line.
  • Output DEM RasterRequiredOutputRaster LayerOutput DEM raster with the line feature class burned into it.
