Exports the edges of an ESRI TIN
or a
PolygonZ TIN to a new polyline feature class. Calculates several 3D characteristics for each
edge and stores them in the attribute table.
Inputs:
- An ESRI TIN or PolygonZ TIN
- If the input is an ESRI TIN the user can
export specific type of edges only (Regular, Soft, Hard) or all edges.
Outputs:
- New Polyline or PolylineZ feature class.
- Several characteristics will be calculated for
each edge and stored in the following fields.
- ET_Slope_D - the slope of the
edge in Degrees (from 0 to 90)
- ET_Azimuth - the Azimuth of the edge in
Degrees "North Azimuth" orientation - 0 = North, clockwise.
- ET_2DLen - 2D length of the edge
- ET_3DLen - 3D length of the edge
- ET_Type - the type of the edge. All edges
of a PolygonZ TIN will have value "Regular"
ToolBox
implementation
Command line syntax
- two different toolbox tools available depending on the type of the input TIN.
Check the colour coding for specifics.
