ETS_Polygon2Multipatch

Converts a polygon feature class to a Multipatch feature class. The Z values are interpolated from an ESRI TIN or PolygonZ TIN.

The portion of the TIN within each polygon is extracted. A new TIN is interpolated from the participating nodes of the reference TIN surface and the vertices of the polygon for which the Z value is interpolated from the TIN. The new TIN is stored as a Multipatch geometry.

Inputs:

A Polygon feature class
An ESRI TIN or PolygonZ TIN

Outputs:

New Multipatch feature class.
New fields are added to the attribute table of the Multipatch feature class.
- ET_ElMin - the minimum Z value
- ET_ElMax - the maximum Z value
- ETSlopeMax - the maximum slope
- ET_AreaZ - the 3D area
- ET_Area - the 2D area

ToolBox implementation

Command line syntax - two different toolbox tools available depending on the type of the input TIN. Check the color coding for specifics.

ETS_GPPolygonToMultipatchEsriTIN <Input Dataset> <Input ESRI TIN> <Out Feature Class>
