flipPolylineZ

Changes the directions of the polylines from a PolylineZ dataset. In the resulting feature class the polylines will be oriented Up Slope (start from the node with the lower Z value and finis at the node with higher Z value) or Down Slope (start from the node with the higher Z value and finis at the node with lower Z value)

Inputs:

A PolylineZ feature layer
Flip Option

Outputs:

A PolylineZ feature class.
- A field called ET_Status will be added to the attribute table. The values in this field will indicate whether a polyline has been flipped ("Flipped") or not ("Original")

Example:

Input Dataset

Flipped - Down Slope option

Flipped - Up Slope option

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<input_dataset>	A Polyline feature class or feature layer
<out_feature class>	A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
<direction>	A String indicating the direction of the output PolylineZs - Allowed values - "Down Slope" and "Up Slope"

Scripting syntax
