Description

Creates a MultiPatch or Polyline from a base geometry by extruding the base geometry along the Z-axis from the base geometry to a given absolute Z plane.  The base Z value of the geometry is preserved and top Z value is uniformly equal to the input absolute Z.  The resulting extrusion is always parallel to the XY-plane on the top and only parallel at the base if the base geometry is parallel to the XY-plane.  The input geometry should be ZAware and ZSimple.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed.  Only Polylines, Polygons, Envelopes, Points, and Multipoints are allowed as input geometries.  Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes will output MultiPatches while Points and Multipoints will output Polylines.
