Extract elevation values at certain location

[DriesR]

Hi,
For an DEM which is created I want to extract elevation values at certain location within the python API.
I tried using the Metashape.Elevation.altitude(vector) function in the python API but get following Typeerror:

TypeError: descriptor 'altitude' requires a 'Metashape.Elevation' object but received a 'Metashape.Vector'

vector=Metashape.Vector([float(long), float(lat)]

How can I create a vector as Metashape.Elevation object type?  Or maybe another solution?
thanks
Dries

Hello Dries,

You should access the elevation instance related to the chunk, while in the provided example you are trying to apply the .altitude method to the Class itself:

Code: [Select]

elevation = chunk.elevation
vector=Metashape.Vector([float(long), float(lat))]
height = elevation.altitude(vector)

Ok, thanks! Works fine!
