ToGeometry Method—ArcGIS Pro

Returns a Multipatch instance representing the current state of this builder.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public override Geometry ToGeometry()

Public Overrides Function ToGeometry() As Geometry

Exceptions

Exception	Description
GeometryInvalidBufferSizeException	The number of patches or points is greater than Int32.MaxValue.
System.InvalidOperationException	Total number of materials cannot be greater than 65534.
System.InvalidOperationException	The texture buffer is invalid.

Remarks

The result multipatch will have - all ring patches properly closed, - any null patches or patches with less than 3 vertices will be skipped, - any triangle patch esriPatchType.Triangles will have the number of vertices adjusted to be divisible by 3, - any missing attributes in the patches will be set to default values. The method does not modify the builder.
