All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class SurfaceSpot
extends AbstractGPTool

Calculates surface values for each point of a point feature class by interpolating from a raster or TIN surface. Calculated values are added to the input feature class attributes. The Surface Spot tool is contained in the 3D Analyst Tools tool box.
