Topography (Vector)

Toolkit name: GIS_Vector_Topography

Works with vector-based topography — contour lines and survey points.

Data source format:

Property	Value
File format	Shapefile, GeoJSON, or GeoPackage
Geometry type	LineString or MultiLineString (contour lines)
Required columns	geometry, height column (default: HEIGHT)
Height column	Elevation value in meters for each contour line
CRS	Any valid CRS (toolkit handles conversion)

vtopo = toolkitHome.getToolkit(toolkitHome.GIS_VECTOR_TOPOGRAPHY, projectName="MY_PROJECT")

# Cut a region from a data source
region = vtopo.cutRegionFromSource(shape=my_polygon, datasource="contours")

# Generate STL from vector data
vtopo.regionToSTL(shape=my_polygon, dxdy=30, datasource="contours")
