Outline • Load 3D Analyst Extension • 3D Scene • Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) • Drape Features to TIN • Extruding 3D Features • Navigating a 3D Scene • 3D Effects • Animations • 3D Symbols • Light of Sight Analysis • ArcGlobe
Load 3D Analyst Extension • Tools, Extensions…
3D Scene • Load from extension toolbar or start menu • Uses .sxd file format
3D Scene • 3D Scene with layer added
Triangulated Irregular Network • Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) Structure • Defined by two elements: a set of input points with x,y, and z values, and a series of edges connecting these points to form triangles. • Each input point becomes the node of a triangle in the TINstructure, and the output is a continuous faceted surface of triangles.
Create TIN • Create TIN from topo features
TIN Properties • Color changed and soft lines turned off
Drape Features to TIN • Edit layer properties
Extruding 3D Features • 3D buildings includes 3D heights
Extruding 3D Features • Extrude using Height field
Resultant Layer Extruded • Buildings draped to TIN and extruded
