There is an even better solution to this problem. First you need a TIN... which you already have or you wouldn't be here. Next you need to convert that TIN to a multipatch by using the Interpolate Polygon to Multipatch Tool. This tool takes any 2D polygon and 'drapes' it over a TIN surface to make a 3D multipatch of the polygon. If you want to convert the entire TIN, you'll need a polygon that covers the entire TIN. Once you have your multipatch, all you need to do is convert it to a Collada file, using the Multipatch to Collada tool. Once that is done, simply import your Collada file into sketchup and bingo... you're off to the races. ... View more

I don't see who originally posted this solution, but thanks. It saved me from having to brush up on my raster calculator. Thanks. ... View more

I've been able to work around this limitation in my models by using the "Extract Multi Values to Points" tool. This performs the operation on the input feature class without having to create a new data set. The down side is that you have to create a distance raster for each layer you want to compare your point layer to. In a modeling environment, creating a distance raster for each of your variables is likely the best approach anyway, as it is FAR more efficient from a processing standpoint than doing a spatial join. ...

The easiest way to do this would be to create an aspect raster and a point grid. Extract the aspect values to the points, and then (using the symbology properties) point the arrow in the direction of the aspect. ... View more

Great idea... I've been wanting this feature for a while. ... View more

I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet. I have probably lost hours of my life to this issue (over the last 10 years). ... View more
