Construct Sight Lines

Creates line features that represent sight lines from one or more observer points to features in a target feature class.



1. Observer Points

The single-point features that represent observer points. Multipoint features are not supported.

2. Target Features

The target features (points, multipoints, lines, and polygons).

3. Output

The output feature class containing the sight lines.

4. Observer Height Field (optional)

The source of the height values for the observer points obtained from its attribute table.

A default Observer Height Field field is selected from among the options listed below by order of priority. If multiple fields exist, and the desired field does not have a higher priority in the default field selection, the desired field will need to be specified.

· <None>—No Z values will be assigned to the resulting sight line features.

·  Shape.Z

·  Spot

·  Z

·  Z_Value

·  Height

·  Elev

·  Elevation

·  Contour

5. Target Height Field (optional)

The height field for the target.

A default Target Height Field field is selected from among the options listed below by order of priority. If multiple fields exist, and the desired field does not have a higher priority in the default field selection, the desired field will need to be specified.

· <None>—No Z values will be assigned to the resulting sight line features.

·  Shape.Z

·  Spot

·  Z

·  Z_Value

·  Height

·  Elev

·  Elevation

·  Contour

6. Join Field (optional)

The join field is used to match observers to specific targets.

<None>—No Z values will be assigned to the resulting sight line features.

7. Sampling Distance (optional)

The distance between samples when the target is either a line or polygon feature class. The Sampling Distance units are interpreted in the XY units of the output feature class.

8. Output the Direction (optional)

Adds direction attributes to the output sight lines. Two additional fields will be added and populated to indicate direction: AZIMUTH and VERT_ANGLE (vertical angle).

· Unchecked—No direction attributes will be added to the output sight lines. This is the default.

· Checked—Two additional fields will be added and populated to indicate direction: azimuth and vertical angle.

Intervisibility

Determines the visibility of sight lines against potential obstructions defined by any combination of 3D features and surfaces.



1. Sight Lines

The 3D sight lines.

2. Obstructions

The multipatch features and surfaces that may obstruct the sight lines. A polygon or line feature layer can be specified if the layer has its base height and extrusion properties defined.

3. Visible Field Name (optional)

Name of the field that will store the visibility results. A resulting value of 0 indicates that the sight line's start and end points are not visible to one another. A value of 1 indicates that the sight line's start and end points are visible to one another. The default field name is VISIBLE. If the field already exists, its values will be overwritten.
