Hello,
I'm looking for something similar to arcpy.GetCellValue_management, but for TINs instead of rasters. The idea behind it is that I'd like to be able to read terrain Z coordinate from both rasters and TINs - whatever the user chooses. The relevant part of the code is as follows:
I searched with google but apparently I ask the wrong questions. I have only Spatial Analyst from extensions, so no other extensions available (3D analyst in particular).
Cheers

Code:
def readZ(dataset,x,y):
desc = arcpy.Describe(dataset)
if desc.datasetType == "RasterDataset":
result = arcpy.GetCellValue_management(dataset,str(x) + " " + str(y))
return result.getOutput(0)
if desc.datasetType == "Tin":
#return what is the Z value of tin dataset in location x,y
#what goes here?
return None #neither raster nor tinCheers
