Now that the imports have all been made, you can add methods to your class.
Adding the tinToPoint method
This method performs most of the work for the application. It will take, as
parameters, a path to your TIN file, the name of the TIN, a path to an output
shapefile, and a name for the output shapefile.
1. Create the signature for the tinToPoint method as follows:
The ITinAdvanced interface requires an ArcGIS
Engine Runtime license with 3D extension or an
ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension when deployed. You
will add code for detecting for this license and
checking it out later in this exercise.
/**
* @param tinPath – path to input tin data source
* @param tinName – name of input tin data source
* @param shapePath – path to output shapefile data source
* @param shapeFile – name of output shapefile data source
*/
private static void tinToPoint(String tinPath, String tinName,
String shapePath, String shapeFile){
Initially, you need to open your TIN dataset from its file location, which is passed
as a parameter to the method, by instantiating a new Tin class. The Tin class
implements many interfaces; you will use methods provided by the ITinAdvanced
and IGeoDataset interfaces. By calling the init() method, exposed by the
ITinAdvanced interface, you can open the specified TIN.
2. Instantiate the new Tin class by adding the following code below the signature
for your method.
try{
// Get tin from tin file.
ITinAdvanced tinAdv = new Tin();
String path = tinPath + File.separator + tinName;
System.out.println(" - Path to Tin: " + path);
tinAdv.init(path);
