The DEM menu contains the following options:

  • Delete – Removes all DEM data
  • Fill – Interpolates an elevation for the selected DEM cells.
  • Smooth – Brings up the DEM Smoothing Options dialog which controls how WMS automatically rounds elevations values when a DEM is imported. See Smoothing DEMs for more information.
  • Trim – See Editing DEMs for more information on the Trim commands.
    • Polygon – Uses selected polygons to trim the DEM.
    • Elevation – Brings up the DEM Trim by Elevation dialog. Uses a set elevation to trim the DEM.

  • Edit Elevations – Used in conjunction with a selected DEM point or feature arc. See Editing DEM Elevations for more information.
  • Point Attributes – Brings up the DEM Point Attributes dialog. See DEM Point Attributes for more information.

    • ...to 2D Grid – Elevations from the DEM can be interpolated to a 2D finite difference grid used for GSSHA models. This is accomplished using the Interpolate to 2D Grid command of the DEM menu. The DEM values will appear as a dataset under the 2D grid item in the Project Explorer.
