Raster Elevation Source
An elevation source based on raster elevation files. A raster elevation source helps visualize maps and layers in 3D by providing a surface that layers may be draped or offset from. You can create a raster elevation source from a collection of raster elevation files, such as Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) format files. See Raster To DTED for more information about creating raster elevation files based on the DTED tiling scheme.
To utilize an elevation source in a scene's surface, add it to the scene's Surface.elevationSources collection.

The unique identifying string for the ElevationSource, as specified in a scene. The ID is used by other parts of the API to reference a specific ElevationSource. If not provided, a unique ID is automatically assigned to each ElevationSource upon creation. When changing the ID, ensure the value remains unique so the ElevationSource can be reliably located by ID.
