ArcGIS Pro 2.5: “create tin” tool doesn’t respect “environments” settings of “extent” and “mask”,

 

I observed that the “create tin” tool doesn’t respect “environments” settings of “extent” and “mask”.

 

Is this by design?

It appears that adding an input feature with “soft clip” type resolves the issue. But how can the TIN cover the whole study area?

Tin supports only a certain number of environments (look at the bottom of this link)

Create TIN—Help | Documentation 

Did you perform a Delaunay or a Constrained Delaunay triangulation?

Create TIN—Help | Documentation 

The outputs will be different.

You might also want to follow up with

Delineate TIN Data Area—Help | Documentation 

to get the result you want

My point here is: I wanted to know if the TIN can cover the whole study area.

 

For example, if the IDW is run, the following outputs can be obtained depending on the environment settings. The output can be enforced to cover the whole study area. Is this doable in case of TIN?
