Hello Andrew, We've identified the cause of the problem and will implement a fix at 10.5.1 and Pro 2.0.  The tool's implementation of parallel processing was encountering an issue when the tool is executed on a number of processors that is not equal to a power of 2 and the number of processed features is a large number (can vary from machine to machine). The workaround would be to specify the number of processors in the Parallel Processing environment settings for geoprocessing to a number that is a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc...). Let me know if that works for you. Regards, Khalid ... View more

It sounds like the operation is getting stuck at a particular feature. Is it possible for you to share this data? ... View more

Would you mind sharing the data by posting the XYZ coordinates? I couldn't reproduce the issue with an arbitrary set of 4 nodes per TIN. Regards, Khalid H. Duri 3D Analyst Product Engineer Esri | 909.793.2853 x2747 ... View more

Can you try applying a slight buffer to the TIN domain output, then using the buffered polygon as your input to Extrude Between?  If this works, then you ran into a rarely encountered known issue that occurs along certain coincident boundary conditions. ... View more

Hi Chase, Please try the sun skymap tool available with 3D Samples to generate the output points and let me know if you have any other issues: http://links.esri.com/3dsamples It has been updated to no longer require PyEphem, and resolves a few bugs with the old tool.  Regards, Khalid ... View more

Hello Popescu, I have rolled out an updated sun skymap tool in the new 3D Samples which no longer requires PyEphem.  Please try this out instead and let me know if you have any trouble: http://links.esri.com/3d_samples Regards, Khalid ... View more

Hello Heuner, Grade in this context is indicated in percent units, not degree. ... View more

By chance, does your input data have its spatial reference defined? ... View more

Hmm... which tool's output is being passed into the Add Z Information tool? I suspect there may be an issue with how the preceeding tool's output layer definition may be getting updated. ... View more

You can run the Add Z Information tool to obtain slope if the geometry of your shapefile is either a polygon or multipatch and the rooftops are isolated. ... View more

Good morning Franklin, I'm only seeing the behavior you're describing occur when I connect a multipoint feature class.  With a single point feature, I see the Z option.  What version of the software are you using? ... View more

I dubbel checked to see if it is in symbology, but its not. In order to use the slope renderer, you have to add the renderer to the Symbology tab in Layer Properties. Follow these steps: 1. Right-click the TIN layer in the table of contents and select Properties. 2. Click the Symbology tab. 3. Uncheck the active renderer (i.e. Elevation or any other TIN face renderer that is checked). 4. Click Add. 5. Select the "Face slope with graduated color ramp" option and click Add. 7. Click Dismiss. 8. Select the Color Ramp drop-down and choose your desired color ramp then click OK. ... View more

The terrain dataset references data from the feature dataset it resides in, so there's no need to recreate points for it. You can obtain the slope and aspect information as polygons using the Surface Slope and Surface Aspect tools, then perform a spatial join to get them attributed to the points. If the Z values are stored in the geometry and not as an attribute, you can use Add Z Information to add it as an attribute. Let me know if you still need help. ... View more

Regarding the unexpected values, you may wish to perform some QA/QC checks on your data to determine if you have misclassified measurements. Try the Locate Outliers tool or the LAS Point Statistics as Raster tool with the Z Range option to get a sense for whether you have extraneous values.  If you manage to capture them using Locate Outliers, then you can optionally choose to reclassify those points using Set LAS Class Codes Using Features. Regarding your second question, the surface gets regularly sampled with points over the area defined by the polygon. The sampled points are interpolated using the method selected in the tool, then used to create a surface that matches the polygon's boundary. If you don't specify a sampling distance, the tool uses the densification of the LAS data as its sampling distance. ... View more
