Extract Multipatch From Mesh (3D Analyst)

Summary

Creates a multipatch feature from the portion of an integrated mesh that overlaps a polygon.

Usage

  • Each polygon from the footprint feature will result in a multipatch created from the overlapping portions of the integrated mesh.

  • Consider using this tool if you need to assign attributes for discrete objects captured in the integrated mesh. The attributes from the footprint polygon will transfer to the resulting multipatch.

  • Consider using this tool if you need to process the data captured in an integrated mesh using tools that analyze multipatch geometry.
