'Purpose: Creates 3D polylines from a comma-delimited textfile with X,Y,Z points. The
' textfile should be in X,Y,Z,ID format with each polyline vertex on a separate
' row, in the same order the line is to be constructed. The form will prompt the
' user to select a textfile (with a .txt extension) and an output shapefile in which
' to create and add the 3D lines. Included is a sample text file that is in the
' correct format (sampletextfile.txt).
'
'Notes: The form is meant to be run in ArcMap (developed in V9.1). Simplest
' way to use is the form is to use the provided .mxd file that has the form
' attached to a UIControl (smiley face button). The form frmtxtto3dpln.frm can also
' be imported into a Visual Basic Editor in ArcMap. This program works similarly
' to the Arc/Info "generate" command (except works for 3D rather than 2d features). |
