The 3D Features toolset provides a collection of tools for evaluating geometric properties and relationships between three-dimensional features. The following table summarizes the tools in this toolset:
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Adds information about elevation properties of features in a Z-enabled feature class. | |
Creates a 3-dimensional buffer around points or lines to produce spherical or cylindrical multipatch features. | |
Difference 3D | Eliminates portions of multipatch features in a target feature class that overlap with enclosed volumes of multipatch features in the subtraction feature class. |
Enclose Multipatch | Creates closed multipatch features in the output feature class using the features of the input multipatch. |
Creates 3D features using height values derived from the attribute of the input features. | |
Determines if 3D features from an input feature class are contained inside a closed multipatch, and writes an output table recording the features that are partially or fully inside the multipatch. | |
Computes the intersection of multipatch features to produce closed multipatches encompassing the overlapping volumes, open multipatch features from the common surface areas, or lines from the intersecting edges. | |
Returns the number of geometric intersections between 3D line and multipatch features and also provides optional features that represent points of intersection and also divide the 3D lines at such points. | |
Evaluates multipatch features to determine whether each feature completely encloses a volume of space. | |
Calculates the three-dimensional distance from each input feature to the nearest feature that resides in one or more near feature classes. | |
Merges closed, overlapping multipatch features from an input feature class. |
