Layer 3D to feature class

AnthonyTimpson2

Hello there,
I am quite new to python and I am just trying to do a simple iteration.

I have Six Feature classes which need to be converted to Multipatch as part of an automated process

I tried getting it done with modelbuilder but it seems that Iterate features does not work with Layer 3d to FC since it needs to look in the TOC for the 3d Polygons rather than the MDB

Would anyone be willing to shed a little light on the python setup needed to run this conversion?

I batch process Layer 3D to Feature Class, so I authored a Python script that convert all .lyr files in a target folder to feature class.  If you build a script tool, you can click through the process. Hope this helps.
