TIN Edge (3D Analyst)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates 3D line features using the triangle edges of a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset.

Usage

  • Use the Edge Type parameter to extract a specific type of triangle edge.

  • Output feature contains a field named EdgeType that uses integer values to represent the type of edge that each line represents:

    • 0—A regular edge, or one that was not specifically defined as a hard or soft edge. This edge type is produced by the triangulation of the TIN data points.
    • 1—A soft edge, or one that represents a gradual transition in slope values.
    • 2—A hard edge, or one that represents a more abrupt transition in slope values.

  • Data AreaEdges representing the interpolation zone. This is the default.
  • Soft BreaklinesEdges representing gradual breaks in slope.
  • Hard BreaklinesEdges representing distinct breaks in slope.
  • Enforced EdgesEdges that were not introduced by the TIN's triangulation.
  • Regular EdgesEdges that were created by the TIN's triangulation.
  • Excluded EdgesEdges that are excluded from the interpolation zone.
  • All EdgesAll edges, included those that were excluded from the interpolation zone.
