Hi all,
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here but a seemingly simple operation has resulted in wrong outcome.
I am trying to create an extruded feature between two tins. I have a Tin constructed with four points for the top and a tin with four points for the bottom. simple. then I constructed the tin domain and used tha in the extrude between tool. the resulting multipatch is an extrude square with flat top and bottom; set at the minimum distance between the tins. ie the feature is extruded between the highest elevation of the lower tin and the lowest elevation of the top tin.
I must have tried everything by now (triangulated domain, using the break lines of the tins as polygons) but nothing works.
There must be something simple I am missing here. Anyone know what it is?
Thanks a bunch

Solved! Go to Solution.
Some guys here at ESRI Netherlands are on it now, it seems there might be a problem with the coordinate system we're using. I'll post again when we have a solution or if the problem persists, would be a bit much to have people all over the globe working on a solution... Thanks a lot though!

Hi everyone,
I have been in touch with ESRI NL people and they have not been able to find a solution either. Two issues were suggested: one is the use of a custom coordinate system and the other is that the TINs are too 'complex'. I can hardly think of a less complex TIN shape but here we are.
This is starting to become a pressing problem as I need this for my research. All help is welcome. I have added a mappackage for anyone interested in having a look at it. I have set everything in WGS 1984 Web Mercator now. (also the tins in this example are made up of a few more points)
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
The issue described in this post has been reported and is being dealt with as a bug in the program. ESRI is apparently working on it so it will be available again in a new release. In the mean time I'll see if I can perform the same task in a 3d modelling program. As soon as I here more about it I'll post it here.
Thanks for the replies!
