Summary

Computes the geometric intersection of 3D line features and one or more surfaces to return the intersection as segmented line features and points.

Usage

  • All of the input line features will be in the output line feature class even if they do not intersect a surface.

  • The following fields are included in the output line feature class:

    • OID_ORG—The OBJECTID from the original 3D line feature.
    • SURF_FROM—The surface from which the 3D line segment began.
    • SURF_TO—The surface from where the 3D line segment was drawn to.
  • The following fields are included in the optional output point feature class:

    • OID_LINE—The OBJECTID from the original 3D line feature.
    • SURFACE—The surface name where the intersecting point is generated from.
    • DIST_ALONG—The distance from the beginning of the 3D line to the point of intersection.
