Summary
Creates 3D features by extruding each input feature between two triangulated irregular network (TIN) datasets.
Illustration
Usage
Only the portion of input features that overlap the XY extent of both TINs will be represented in the output.
The geometry of the extruded features depends on the geometry of the input features:
- Line and polygon input features result in the creation of multipatch geometry.
- Point input features result in the creation of line geometry.
Syntax
ExtrudeBetween_3d (in_tin1, in_tin2, in_feature_class, out_feature_class)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_tin1 | The first input TIN. | TIN Layer |
in_tin2 | The second input TIN. | TIN Layer |
in_feature_class | The features that will be extruded between the TINs. | Feature Layer |
out_feature_class | The output that will store the extruded features. | Feature Class |
Code Sample
ExtrudeBetween example 1 (Python window)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in the Python window.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.ExtrudeBetween_3d("tin1", "tin2", "study_area.shp", "extrusion.shp")
ExtrudeBetween example 2 (stand-alone script)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in a stand-alone Python script.
