TIN Polygon Tag (3D Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro

Summary

Creates polygon features using tag values in a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset.

Illustration

Usage

Tag values can be assigned using an integer field in a polygon feature class by loading the polygon into the TIN as a valuefill surface type.
Triangles that do not have a tag explicitly defined are assigned the default value of 0.
All contiguous triangles with an identical tag value will be stored in a single polygon feature.
The tag value will be denoted as an attribute in the output feature class.

Syntax

TinPolygonTag(in_tin, out_feature_class, {tag_field})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_tin	The TIN dataset to process.	TIN Layer
out_feature_class	The feature class that will be produced by this tool.	Feature Class
tag_field (Optional)	The name of the field storing the tag attribute in the output feature class. The default field name is Tag_Value.	String

Code sample

TinPolygonTag example 1 (Python window)

The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in the Python window.

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.TinPolygonTag_3d("tin", "tin_polytag.shp", tag_field="LanduseCode")

TinPolygonTag example 2 (stand-alone script)

The following sample demonstrates the use of this tool in a stand-alone Python script.

'''****************************************************************************
Name: TinPolygonTag Example
Description: This script demonstrates use of the 
             TinPolygonTag tool to extract tag information 
             from each TIN in the target workspace.
****************************************************************************'''
# Import system modules
