Modifies an ESRI TIN or PolygonZ TIN by adding additional data points or
breaklines from a feature layer. The output TIN is
of the same type as the input TIN.
Inputs:
- An ESRI TIN or PolygonZ TIN to be modified.
- A feature layer (Point, Polyline, Polygon)
- An elevation field - numeric field that will be used.
If the features have Z values, they can be used for elevation.
- If the output is ESRI TIN - triangulation
method to be used - "Mass points", "Hard breaklines" or
"Soft breaklines"
- If the output is PolygonZ TIN - the
Azimuth and the Altitude of the light source
Outputs:
- New ESRI TIN or PolygonZ feature class.
Notes :
- If the input is ESRI TIN, the modify features can be added
as Mass points, Hard breaklines or Soft breaklines. The
elevation values for Hard breaklines are defined by a field or by the Z values
of the features. For Soft breaklines the elevation values are calculated from
the input TIN.
- If the input is PolygonZ TIN, the
modify data can only be added as Mass points.
ToolBox
implementation
Command line syntax
- two different toolbox tools available depending on the type of the input TIN.
Check the colour coding for specifics.

| Expression |
Explanation |
| <Input TIN> |
A String - the full
name of an existing ESRI TIN |
|
<Input Dataset> |
A Point, Polyline or
Polygon feature layer or feature class |
| <Modify Feature
Class> |
A Point, Polyline
or Polygon feature layer or feature class |
| <Out TIN> |
A String - the full name
of the output ESRI TIN |
| <Out Feature
Class> |
A String
- the full name of the output feature class. |
|
<Elevation Field> |
A String representing the
name of the field to be used as a source for the elevations |
|
<Triangulation type> |
A String - possible
values are "Mass points" and "Hard breaklines" |
|
{Light Azimuth} |
A Double representing azimuth
of the light source (0 to 360). 0 indicates North, 90 - East, 180 - South,
270 - West |
|
{Light Altitude} |
A Double representing the
altitude of the light source in degrees (0 to 90) |
