Topology edits: Multipatch features cannot participate in a topology.However, as multipatch features are usually three-dimensional, and the ArcMap editing environment is two-dimensional, there are some limitations with the tools and functions available in that environment. Various editing tasks: You cannot extend or trim multipatch geometries or reshape an edge of a multipatch feature using a 2D line. Multipatch features can be edited in ArcScene, ArcGlobe, and ArcMap, just like all other feature types.Split tool: Splitting 3D multipatches using a 2D line is not supported.The list below contains some of the editing actions that are not available: Some editing actions are not appropriate for multipatch geometries and have been made unavailable for use with multipatch features. Unsupported editing actions for multipatches Copy and Paste: Copy and paste an existing representative multipatch feature, such as a stylized house placed in strategic locations around the 3D view to develop a realistic scene of a proposed construction.Spatial Adjustment tools: For multipatch features that were not created within a spatial reference system, adjust their size and position using the standard Spatial Adjustment tools (ArcMap only).Snapping: You can use multipatch vertices, segments, and faces as part of the classic snapping environment.Scale (3D): Resize a multipatch feature on its 3D geometry.Rotate: Rotate a multipatch feature to change the direction it's facing.Move: Relocate your multipatch features by interactively moving them or using precise distances.Attribute Editor: Create and maintain attributes for your multipatch features.The list below represents common editing tasks for multipatch features: Many editing actions are useful for multipatch geometries and are available for use with multipatch features.

You can also write ArcObjects code for generating complex multipatch geometries. Multipatch features can be created by converting 3D symbology to multipatch features or through 3D geoprocessing tools such as Layer 3D To Feature Class. That is, you can move, rotate, scale, delete, insert, replace, and copy multipatch features, as well as define and populate attributes for the features. The 3D editing environment for multipatch editing focuses on whole feature management. Since ArcScene and ArcGlobe are three-dimensional environments, there are more editing options available for multipatch features, such as Replace with model and the Insert construction tool. Multipatch features can be edited in ArcScene, ArcGlobe, and ArcMap, just like all other feature types. Multipatch features can be used for different reasons, for example, to enhance 3D realistic symbology of a feature.
