arcpy.3d.TinNode(in_tin, out_feature_class, {spot_field}, {tag_field})
|
Name
|
Explanation
|
Data type
|
|
in_tin
|
The TIN dataset that will be processed.
|
TIN Layer
|
|
out_feature_class
|
The feature class that will be produced.
|
Feature Class
|
|
spot_field
(Optional)
|
The name of the elevation attribute field of the output feature class. If a name is given, the feature class will be 2D; otherwise, it will be 3D. No name is provided by default, which results in the creation of 3D point features.
|
String
|
|
tag_field
(Optional)
|
The name of the field storing the tag attribute in the output feature class. By default, no tag value field is created.
|
String
|
Code sample
TinNode example 1 (Python window)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in the Python window:
arcpy.env.workspace = 'C:/data'
arcpy.ddd.TinNode('tin', 'elevation_node.shp', spot_field='Elevation')
TinNode example 2 (stand-alone script)
The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in a stand-alone Python script:
"""****************************************************************************
Name: Create Terrain from TIN
Description: This script demonstrates how to create a terrain dataset using
features extracted from a TIN. It is particularly useful in
situations where the source data used in the TIN is not available,
and the amount of data stored in the TIN proves to be too large
for the TIN. The terrain's scalability will allow improved
display performance and faster analysis. The script is designed
to work as a script tool with 5 input arguments.
