A tool to identify the actual XY coordinate location of a high or Low Point on a terrain

Currently we can Analyze Element to obtain the range high and range low for XYZ of a terrain, but that XY value does not reflect the coordinate of the actual range high/low Z, it just gives the highest/lowest XY in terms of the coordinate number. We need a simple way of locating the XY Coordinate of where exactly the high/low point is located on the terrain.

    **Work Around:

    • First Need to export the Terrain to .xml with the "Triangles Only" option.

    • Then drop the .xml into Copilot and ask it to generate a sortable excel spreadsheet from the NEZ coordinates.

    This allows you to easily determine the coordinates of the "Ultimate" High and Low points of a terrain by sorting the elevation column in the spreadsheet.

    I think this can be done with Terrain Display Styles and a Terrain report.
