  1. 3D Analyst

  2. Basic Idea

  3. What can you do with it? • Work in the 3D world so can do • Visualization of • Viewsheds, lines of sight • Steepest path descents (fall lines) • Volume and area calculations

  4. Viewshed visible Not visible From Here

  5. Fall line Steepest path down hill In this case over a TIN Triangular Irregular Network

  6. Calculate Volumes and Areas And other stats

  7. Convert 2D to 3D

  8. The components • ArcScene • ArcGlobe • ArcMap -- this one you know • ArcCatalog – and this one also

  9. ArcScene • Allows visualization of data • Allows 3D interaction with data • Allows Surface Analysis • ArcScene documents are .sxd

  10. ArcGlobe

  11. ArcGlobe • Data for entire globe – but works for part of globe also • Can Zoom in and view from different downward angles • HUGE databases! • ArcGlobe docs are .33d

  12. 3D data • Rasters -- Grids of continuous (usually) surfaces • Elevation • Water Tables • Pollution plumes • TINs • 3D features (buildings, trees, fire hydrants) • These data have Z values

  13. Z • Is an attribute • Can be elevation • But can also be anything else • Depth to water table • Pollutant concentrations • Etc.

  14. Z • Is an attribute • Can be elevation • But can also be anything else • Depth to water table • Pollutant concentrations • Etc.

  15. Raster (Grid) data • Here rainfall decreases from the NW to the SE

  16. Raster (Grid) data • Snow depth as 2D and 3D

  17. TIN • A set of non-overlapping triangles that border one another • Based on point Z data • So are not usually the same size • So you have nodes and edges

  18. TINs

  19. Features

  20. Summary • 3D analyst is a powerful tool • Visualization of surfaces with Z values • Analysis of volumes and areas • Viewsheds • Steepest decent • You can put 3D features (buildings, trees, fire hydrants, etc. on the surface
