Not sure, I have never used VS Express.  To be honest I have never gotten the F1 help with ArcObjects to work consistently and if it did I found it to be very slow so I gave up on it.  For the most part I just use the index, it's just what I am used to. Found the solution to the F1 issue. The answer is posted here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3319/how-do-i-install-arcgis-developer-help-in-visual-studio-express-2008 ... View more

In ArcGIS 10 I tried using the add surface information using a Point feature class (FC) and a terrain. The tool is supposed to add a field and add the elevation information, like the surface spot in 9.3.1 for Tin's and grids, but it did not do so. I tried converting the Terrain to a Tin but it failed due to to many points. Any suggestions? Thanks! Did you try altering the Maximum Number of Nodes? Do not use any limit and then try converting Terrain to TIN again.  Once completed, you can use the TIN Node tool to obtain point features. ... View more

Hi Koen, New at 10 is that you can run most analytical operators that work with TINs directly against Terrains. 1 exception: �??Extrude between�??. Regards Gert 3Dteam Can the TIN Editing toolbar be used with Terrains? What about TIN Domain? TIN Triangle? Raster to TIN? ... View more

Alexander: Any idea how I can get F1 help support for ArcObjects in Visual Studio 2008 Express? I posted this as a thread a few days ago but did not get an answer. The ArcObjects SDE is installed and I can build, debug and compile Esri Addins with no issues. In VB6 this was possible. In VS Express F1 launches the help screen and the ESRI package is listed but it does not display the help pertaining to the particular ArcObject method or property.  Any ideas how I can do this? ...

I want to work out the surface area of the polygons which have depths of water beneath them that meet a specific requirment. Assuming I understood correctly; Did you try the Polygon Volume tool? You can control the plane height and calculate stats above or bellow the provided reference plane height. The output file contains 3D surface area.  You would just need to convert raster to TIN. "Calculates the volumetric and  surface area between polygons of an input feature class and a terrain dataset or  TIN surface." ... View more

I get the same error when I attempt to import KMZ that was generated from ArcGIS into Sketchup 8. As far as I am concerned, it is currently NOT POSSIBLE to import data other then Multipatch using ArcGIS 10 into Sketchup version 7 and 8. I started a thread about this issue both here and on StackExchange with no results. The only way is to export to DXF then import to sketchup but data will not be referenced so some of of geo-referencing method is required to scale the DXF. Also as far as i know only COLLADA can be brought back into ArcGIS georeferenced, not vector features.  The entire Sketchup Model can be imported so long it is saved as SketchUp 6 version, unfortunatelly it will not be geo-referenced. However, i am able to import multipatch features generated with 3D Analyst into Sketchup, but so far i have only tried converting TIN to multipatch and importing into sketch-up. ... View more

I have figured out how to create a feature class to a KML,  you must convert the feature class to a feature layer, then layer to KML. but now I lost my information that was in the Feature.  Any ideals All you should have to do is to add  a feature class to ArcMap then drag the layer to the tool (or use the drop-down to select it) No conversion necessary; Geodatabase feature class added to ArcMap is a feature layer. ...

SketchUp will not open Collada file. The files I try to open are .dae SketchUp gives me a message saying "this does not appear to be a SketchUp Model" You have to import the files not open. Sketchup 8 -> File -> Import -> Files of TYpe: Google Earth/COLLADA Files (*.kmz, *.dae) The model will look weird; Select all and explode -> select all faces and paint -> group ... View more

Yes is does work with the Express edition but the functionality is limited; No Searching of snippets. It basically adds a sort of intelli-sense type snippet option. I imagine managing and editing snippets will also be very limited in Express edition. Still, it does work.  Despite my previous rant, i must say that i am pleased with how tingly integrated the Add-ins are with the framework. It might actually be worth my efforts once i convert all my VBA scripts into add-ins... ... View more

Hi, there is also a video on the 3DGIS resource center showing this particular work-flow: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/3dgis/default.aspx Regards Gert Is there a solution for vector features? More specifically points and polylines? Polygons can be converted to multipatch so this is an OK workaround but what if i would like to export points, polylines, polygons and multipatch features to SketchUp, modify them and import back into ArcGIS? I tried KML but KML exported from ArcGIS fails to import into SketchUp. ... View more

Thanks Chris, this is the VS Express version of the Finder although it does not do any "finding". I have to say I am VERY disappointed with ESRI's claims that all that is needed to migrate VBA customization to Add-Ins is the Express Edition of Visual Studio.  NOT SO! No debugging unless one searches other .Net sources on how to debug a "dll" with the Express edition - and tweaks the XML on per project basis. And now - no ability to search snippets on demand SIGH... ArcGIS should be shipping with a full version of Visual Studio to even come close to what VBA is capable of. ... View more
