ETG_ClipTinWithPolygons

Clip TIN with Polygons

Clips a TIN dataset with the polygons of the input polygon feature class.

A TIN within the boundaries of the input polygons.
The boundaries of the clipping polygons are traced as soft breaklines within the TIN.
All triangles outside of the clipping polygons are marked outside of the data area and will not be visible.

Result TIN

The output TIN will have the extent of the intersection between the input TIN extent and the clip dataset extent.
If the clip dataset is not with the same spatial reference as the input TIN, it will be projected to the spatial referense of the TIN and the clipping will be done with the projected features. If projection parameters can not be established, no output will be created and an error will be recorded in the Log file.

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	ClipTinWithPolygons
<input TIN>	A String representing the input TIN dataset.
<output TIN>	A String - the full name of the output TIN.
<clip dataset>	Clip Polygon dataset

ETSPath used in the table below is the full path to ETSRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETSurface\ETSRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETSPath, "ClipTinWithPolygons", "input tin", "output tin", "clip dataset"])
.NET using ETSRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETSPath StartInfo.Arguments = "ClipTinWithPolygons" "input tin" "output tin" "clip dataset"
.NET using ETSOutX.dll	ClipTinWithPolygons(input tin, output tin, clip dataset)

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
