Decimate TIN Nodes

Decimate TIN Nodes Tool, Triangulated Surface Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox

Decimate TIN Nodes

Creates a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset using a subset of nodes from a source TIN.

1. Input TIN

The TIN dataset to process.

2. Output TIN

The TIN dataset that will be generated.

3. Decimation Method

Specifies the decimation method for selecting a subset of nodes from the input TIN.

· Z Tolerance—Generalizes TIN within a specified vertical accuracy. An optional node limit can also be specified. This is the default.

· Count—Generalizes TIN by constraining its size to a specified node limit.

4. Copy Breaklines (optional)

Indicates whether breaklines from the input TIN are copied over to the output.

· Unchecked—Breaklines will not be copied. This is the default.

· Checked—Breaklines will be copied.

Extrude Between

Extrude Between TIN Nodes Tool, Triangulated Surface Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox

Extrude Between

Creates 3D features by extruding each input feature between two triangulated irregular network (TIN) datasets.

1. Input TIN

The first input TIN.

2. Input TIN

The second input TIN.

3. Input Feature Class

The features that will be extruded between the TINs.

4. Output Feature Class

The output that will store the extruded features.

Interpolate Polygon to Multipatch

Interpolate Polygon to Multipatch

Interpolate Polygon to Multipatch Tool, Triangulated Surface Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox

Interpolate Polygon to Multipatch

Creates surface-conforming multipatch features by draping polygon features over a surface.

1. Input Surface

The input triangulated irregular network (TIN) or terrain dataset surface.

2. Input Feature Class

The input polygon feature.

3. Output Feature Class

The output multipatch feature class.

4. Maximum Strip Size (optional)

Controls the maximum number of points used to create an individual triangle strip. Note that each multipatch is usually composed of multiple strips. The default value is 1,024.

5. Z Factor (optional)

The factor by which z-values will be multiplied. This is typically used to convert Z linear units to match XY linear units. The default is 1, which leaves elevation values unchanged. This parameter is disabled if the spatial reference of the input surface has a Z datum with a specified linear unit.

6. Area Field (optional)

The name of the output field containing the planimetric, or 2D, area of the resulting multipatches.

7. Surface Area Field (optional)

The name of the output field containing the 3D area of the resulting multipatches. This area takes the surface undulations into consideration and is always larger than the planimetric area unless the surface is flat, in which case, the two are equal.

8. Pyramid Level Resolution (optional)

The z-tolerance or window-size resolution of the terrain pyramid level that will be used by this tool. The default is 0, or full resolution.
