TIN Slope (3D Analyst)

Summary

Extracts slope information from the input TIN surface into polygon features.

Legacy:

This is a deprecated tool that has been superseded by the Surface Slope tool.

Usage

  • Use Class Breaks Table to constrain slope information into specific break intervals of the output feature class.

  • Use a comma-delimited .txt or .dbf file for a class breaks table. The table requires one column for class break values and, optionally, a second column of class codes. Also, the table needs a header row so that the first row of true data is not skipped.

  • Units are only honored when using a class breaks table.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input TIN

The input TIN.

TIN Layer
Output Feature Class

The output feature class.

Feature Class
Slope Units
(Optional)

The units of measure for the slope values. Units are honored when a class breaks table is used.

String
Class Breaks Table
(Optional)

An input table containing the classification breaks that will be used to classify the output feature class. A comma-delimited text file is required for a class breaks table.

Table
Slope Field
(Optional)

The field containing slope values.

String
Z Factor
(Optional)

The factor applied to the slope calculation to convert the TIN's z units to x and y units. By default, the z-factor is 1.
