Public Properties

 NameDescription
Public PropertyAliasThe alias for this tool's toolbox.  
Public Propertyazimuth_increment_value_or_fieldThe angular interval, in degrees, at which the horizon should be evaluated while conducting the skyline analysis between the From Azimuth and the To Azimuth. Must be no greater than the To Azimuth minus the From Azimuth. The default is 1. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyfeature_lodThe level of detail at which each feature should be examined in the skyline analysis. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyfrom_azimuth_value_or_fieldThe azimuth, in degrees, from which the skyline analysis should be started. The analysis starts from the observer point and goes to the right, from the From Azimuth until the To Azimuth is reached. Must be greater than minus 360 and less than 360. The default is 0. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyin_featuresThe feature class to use in the skyline analysis. The features typically represent obstructions such as city buildings. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyin_observer_point_featuresThe 3D points representing observers; a separate skyline is generated for each. (In, Required)  
Public Propertyin_surfaceThe functional surface for determining the horizon. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertymax_horizon_radiusThe maximum distance for which a horizon should be sought from the observer location. A value of zero indicates that there should be no limit imposed. The default is 0. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyout_feature_classThe line feature class into which the skyline(s) will be placed. Alternatively, this could be a multipatch feature class to contain feature silhouettes. (Out, Required)  
Public PropertyParameterInfoThe parameters used by this tool. For internal use only.  
Public Propertypyramid_level_resolutionIf a terrain is specified for a functional surface, then this parameter is populated with the resolutions resident in the terrain. One of the resolutions may be chosen for the purpose of generating the horizon line. The default is 0, full resolution. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyrefraction_factorIf atmospheric refraction is considered, then apply a scalar value. The default is 0.13. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyscale_according_toThe values according to which the scaling should be determined. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyscale_methodThe vertex to be used to calculate against. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyscale_to_percentIndicates to what percent of the original vertical angle (angle above the horizon, or angle of elevation) or elevation each skyline vertex should be placed. If either 0 or 100 is entered then no scaling will occur. The default is 100. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertysegment_skylineInstead of one only one line being generated to represent the skyline from each observer point, the output is split into multiple lines. Each of these lines represents a different feature, or a stretch of horizon between features. If silhouettes are being generated, then this parameter will indicate whether divergent rays should be used; for sun shadows this should generally be no or unchecked. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyto_azimuth_value_or_fieldThe direction, in degrees, at which the skyline analysis should be completed. The analysis starts from the observer point and goes to the right, from the From Azimuth until the To Azimuth is reached. Must be no more than 360 greater than the From Azimuth. The default is 360. (In, Optional)  
Public PropertyToolboxDirectoryThe directory of this tool's toolbox.  
Public PropertyToolboxNameThe name of this tool's toolbox.  
Public PropertyToolNameThe name of this tool.  
Public Propertyuse_curvatureIndicates whether the earth's curvature should be taken into consideration when generating the ridgeline from a functional surface. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyuse_refractionIndicates whether atmospheric refraction should be taken into consideration when generating the ridgeline from a functional surface. If no actual surface is specified, then checking this check box (or passing "REFRACTION" in Python) will cause silhouettes to be created instead of skylines. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyvirtual_surface_elevationThe elevation of the virtual surface for defining the horizon in lieu of an actual surface. Ignored if an actual surface is provided. The default is 0. (In, Optional)  
Public Propertyvirtual_surface_radiusThe radius of the virtual surface for defining the horizon in lieu of an actual surface. Must be a positive value. Ignored if an actual surface is provided. The default is 1000. (In, Optional)
