If the checkout fails, it doesn't generate an error.

You will see the result if you enter:

print arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D")

See the example code in the help for CheckOutExtension-- it has a nice example of how to check whether the license was successfully acquired.

Thanks Curtis,

Effectively I have not the license "3D Analyst" available.
Use spatial analysis

De nada.

For the record, this is exactly the same tool, licensed under Spatial Analyst or 3D Analyst.

Hi Curtis,

All the above is to make animate the contours generated using "time slider".

In the process, I get 120 raster and get the contours of all, after using arcpy.Merge_management, integrated all into one and finally add the field time to use "time slider". I've done it but the process is very slow,

You know if there is another method to do the same and help me optimize time?, Already with other tools, I'll be pending comments.

Finally I need to animate the time, of the 120 contours
