IConstructMultiPatch.ConstructExtrudeRelative Method

Construct a MultiPatch by extruding a (non-point) geometry along a specified vector, using Zs already set on the input geometry.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructExtrudeRelative ( _
    ByVal extrusionVector As IVector3D, _
    ByVal baseGeom As IGeometry _
)

[C#]
public void ConstructExtrudeRelative (
    IVector3D extrusionVector,
    IGeometry baseGeom
);

[C++]
HRESULT ConstructExtrudeRelative(
  IVector3D* extrusionVector,
  IGeometry* baseGeom
);

[C++]

Parameters
extrusionVector 

  extrusionVector is a parameter of type IVector3D*
baseGeom 

  baseGeom is a parameter of type IGeometry*

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

Creates a MultiPatch from a base non-point geometry by extruding the base geometry along an axis defined by the input Vector3D.  The base Z values of the geometry are the same as the base geometry and top Z values are offset from the base by the Z component of the input Vector3D.  The top geometry is also shifted in the X and Y directions by an offset defined by the X component and Y component of the Vector3D.  The resulting extrusion is parallel to the XY-plane only if the base geometry is parallel to the XY-plane.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed.  Only Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes are allowed as input geometries.
