Parameters

pIGeometry

An IGeometry representing the geometric properties and behavior of the building.

RoofHeight

The height, in meters, of the building roof.

AltitudeType

An enum that determines the altitude type to be used by the object. The following are the possible values:

·          ATC_TERRAIN_RELATIVE = 0
Places the building’s pivot point at a specified altitude above the ground.

·          ATC_TERRAIN_ABSOLUTE = 3
Places the building’s pivot point at a specified altitude above the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid.

GroupID

The Project Tree group in which the building is created. If it is set to an empty string, the object is created under the root. You can obtain the GroupID by one of the following methods:

·          Create the group using IProjectTree80.CreateGroup.

·          Find the group, if you know the name, using IProjectTree80.FindItem.

·          Traverse the Tree using IProjectTree80 methods such as GetNextItem, until you come to the desired GroupID.

Description

The name of the building as it appears in the Project Tree. If an empty string is passed into this parameter, TerraExplorer assigns it a unique name.

Return Value

pITerrainBuilding80

An ITerrainBuilding80, representing the newly created building.

Exceptions

See: HRESULT Return Values for a list of possible values returned by the HRESULT.
