I have an ISurface object and wish to pull out several elevations with one call; instead of using the GetElevation(IPoint) method.

The ISurface is representing a dem with 30m cell size.

Is there an ISurface method that pulls out several elevations with one call?

Is there another way of pulling elevations from a dem? A query?

Try creating a polyline from your points and call ISurface.InterpolateShapeVertices. Then cast to IPointCollection and loop through each vertex to get its Z value.

+1, I like it. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it turns out. – Chris Sep 9 '11 at 17:33
It worked great and this process took much less time to populate 40,000 point elevations. Thanks! – Chris Sep 9 '11 at 17:57
