IConstructMultiPatch.ConstructExtrudeFromTo Method

Construct a MultiPatch by extruding a (non-point) geometry between two specified Z values.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ConstructExtrudeFromTo ( _
    ByVal fromZ As Double, _
    ByVal toZ As Double, _
    ByVal baseGeom As IGeometry _
)
[C#]
public void ConstructExtrudeFromTo (
    double fromZ,
    double toZ,
    IGeometry baseGeom
);
[C++]
HRESULT ConstructExtrudeFromTo(
  double fromZ,
  double toZ,
  IGeometry* baseGeom
);
[C++]

Parameters

fromZ 
  fromZ is a parameter of type double
toZ 
  toZ is a parameter of type double
baseGeom 

  baseGeom is a parameter of type IGeometry

Product Availability

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

Description

Creates a MultiPatch from a base non-point geometry by extruding the base geometry along the Z-axis from a given FromZ input to a given ToZ input.  The base Z value of the geometry is uniformly set to the FromZ and top Z value is set to a uniform ToZ.  The resulting extrusion is always parallel to the XY-plane on both the base and top.

Remarks

All non-linear segments are treated as linear segments when extrusion is performed.  Only Polylines, Polygons, and Envelopes are allowed as input geometries.
