Copy TIN

Copy TIN Tool, TIN Dataset Toolset, Data Management Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox:

Copy TIN

Creates a copy of a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset.

1. Input TIN

The TIN that will be copied.

2. Output TIN

The TIN dataset that will be generated.

3. Version (optional)

The version of the output TIN.

• CURRENT—The current TIN version, which supports constrained Delaunay triangulation, enhanced spatial reference information, and storage of node source and edge tag values. The resulting TIN will not be backward compatible with versions of ArcGIS prior to 10.0. This is the default.
• PRE_10.0—The TIN will be backward compatible with versions of ArcGIS prior to 10.0, which only supports conforming Delaunay triangulation.

Create TIN

Creates a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset.

1. Output TIN

The TIN dataset that will be generated.

2. Coordinate System (optional)

The spatial reference of the output TIN should be set to a projected coordinate system. Geographic coordinate systems are not recommended because Delaunay triangulation cannot be guaranteed when the XY coordinates are expressed in angular units, which could have an adverse impact on the accuracy of distance-based calculations, such as slope, volume, and line of sight.

3. Input Feature Class (optional)

The input features and their related properties that will contribute to the definition of the TIN.

• Input Features—The feature whose geometry will be imported to the TIN.
• Height Field— The source of elevation for the input features. Any numeric field from the input feature's attribute table can be used, along with Shape.Z for the Z values of 3D features, and Shape.M for the M values stored in the geometry. Choosing the <None> keyword will result in the feature's elevation being interpolated from the surrounding surface.
• Type—Defines the feature's role in shaping the TIN surface. See the tool's usage tips for more information about surface feature types.
• Tag Field—Assigns a numeric attribute to the TIN's data elements using values obtained from an integer field in the input feature's attribute table.

4. Constrained Delaunay (optional)

Specifies the triangulation technique used along the breaklines of the TIN.

• Unchecked—The TIN will use Delaunay conforming triangulation, which may densify each segment of the breaklines to produce multiple triangle edges. This is the default.
• Checked—The TIN will use constrained Delaunay triangulation, which will add each segment as a single edge. Delaunay triangulation rules are honored everywhere except along breaklines, which will not get densified.

The point features that represent the LAS points detected within the specified proximity of the input features.

Output Geometry Type (optional)

Specifies the geometry of the output point features that represent the LAS points found within the specified proximity of the input features.

·MULTIPOINT—Multipoint features that will have multiple points in each row.

·POINT—Single-point features that will have a unique row for each identified LAS point.

New Class Code (optional)

The class code value that will be used to reclassify the points found within the search radius of the input features.

Compute Statistics (optional)

Specifies whether statistics should be computed for the LAS files referenced by the LAS dataset. Computing statistics provides a spatial index for each LAS file, which improves analysis and display performance. Statistics also enhance the filtering and symbology experience by limiting the display of LAS attributes, like classification codes and return information, to values that are present in the LAS file.

·Checked—Statistics will be computed.

·Unchecked—Statistics will not be computed. This is the default.
