Hi has anyone been able to read an SDE Terrain dataset.

I would like to read this so I can obtain the z values, for specified x,y coordinates.

@sunsilk11 I don't believe FME can read a Esri Terrain dataset. However the Esri documentation seems to suggest that it's more efficient to work with a raster DEM, instead of the original terrain TIN. So perhaps try converting your Terrain dataset to a Raster using the Terrain to Raster tool. FME should be able to read that.

Thanks. I did just that and it works.
