Provides access to members used to acquire information about a Terrain and to retrieve DynamicSurface objects from which raster and TIN surfaces are made.

Description

The ITerrain interface is used to acquire information about a terrain and its data sources. Additionally, it's used to retrieve DynamicSurface objects which extract terrain information in the form of rasters, TINs, and measurement points.
