);

Parameters

XYFootprint [out, retval]

  XYFootprint is a parameter of type IGeometry

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

Returns the 2D projection of the MultiPatch to the XY-Plane.  The XY-Plane projection of a MultiPatch is called the "XYFootprint" of the MultiPatch.  The XYFootprint is used to display MultiPatches in a 2D environment as well as perform simple time-efficient calculations.

Remarks

To ensure that the XYFootpring is current (this is especially important if you directly modify the XYFootprint or one of the MultiPatch parts), call InvalXYFootprint.
