Extrude Between (3D Analyst)

Summary

Converts polygons into multipatches by extruding them between two input TINs. The output multipatches are written to a new feature class.

Illustration

Usage

• The input TINs and polygons must all overlap in horizontal extent in order to produce any output.

Syntax

ExtrudeBetween_3d (in_tin1, in_tin2, in_feature_class, out_feature_class)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_tin1	The first input TIN.	TIN Layer
in_tin2	The second input TIN.	TIN Layer
in_feature_class	The input polygon feature class.	Feature Layer
out_feature_class	The output multipatch feature class.	Feature Class

Code Sample

Extrude Between Example 1 (Python window)

The following Python Window script demonstrates how to use the Extrude Between function in immediate mode.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env

arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.ExtrudeBetween_3d("tin1", "tin2", "study_area.shp", "extrusion.shp")

Extrude Between Example 2 (stand-alone script)

The following Python script demonstrates how to use the Extrude Between function in a stand-alone script.
