Summary
Defines a list of feature classes containing polygons that represent areas of data that will be excluded.
Discussion
This object is used in the tool Topo To Raster.
This permits removal of elevation data from the interpolation process, typically used over dam walls and bridges, to enable interpolation of the underlying valley structure.
Data typically removed are those associated with features on the actual land surface that can interrupt accurate representation of shape and drainage structure of the true land surface.

Code Sample
TopoExclusion example 1 (Python window)
Demonstrates how to create a TopoExclusion class and use it in the TopoToRaster tool within the Python window.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
myTopoPtElev = TopoPointElevation([["spots.shp", "spot_meter"], ["spots2.shp", "elev"]])
myTopoContour = TopoContour([["contours.shp", "spot_meter"]])
myTopoBoundary = TopoBoundary(["boundary.shp"])
myTopoLake = TopoLake(["lakes.shp"])
myTopoSink = TopoSink([["sink1.shp", "elevation"], ["sink2.shp", "NONE"]])
myTopoStream = TopoStream(["streams.shp"])
myTopoCliff = TopoCliff(["cliff.shp"])
myTopoCoast = TopoCoast(["coast.shp"])
myTopoExclusion = TopoExclusion(["ignore.shp"])
outTopoToRaster1 = TopoToRaster([myTopoPtElev, myTopoContour, myTopoBoundary, myTopoLake, myTopoSink, myTopoStream, myTopoCliff, myTopoCoast, myTopoExclusion])
outTopoToRaster1.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/ttraster1")
TopoExclusion example 2 (stand-alone script)
Interpolates a surface with TopoToRaster using the TopoExclusion class as one of the input parameters.
