Converting raster surfaces to features

The following geoprocessing tools will assist you in converting your raster surface into vector feature data or a file-based dataset. The raster is converted into feature data containing vector-based data extracted from the raster. Use these features for your visualization or analytic needs. These tools are located in the 3D Analyst toolbox and the Conversion > From Raster toolbox.

NoteNote:

Shapefile and/or geodatabase feature classes in personal, file, or ArcSDE geodatabases are the available output format types.
