    Using Building Height. The Attribute Values Are Used As Relative Heights in The View. You Can Also Combine Perspective

    Uploaded by

    Mathias Eder
    Extruding features in 3D maps allows you to represent attribute values as heights. You can extrude counties by population or buildings by height. ArcScene and ArcGlobe allow creating dynamic views and animations. In ArcScene, the Navigate tool changes the viewing angle and altitude while the Fly Over tool continuously moves through the scene. ArcGlobe displays a shaded relief image of Earth by default and lets you navigate in Globe mode to spin the globe or Surface mode across the surface.

    4 Mapping and Visualization

    You can create 3D maps by extruding features, such as counties extruded by population or building footprints extruded

    using building height. The attribute values are used as relative heights in the view. You can also combine perspective
    views with extruded features (to show buildings on a hillside, for example).

    To extrude features open the Layer


    Properties dialog box andon the
    Extrusion tabmake sure the box at the
    top is checked. Then enter the eld name

    in the box. Or click the Calculator button


    to open the Expression Builder and pick a
    eld name or create an expression.

    Using ArcGIS Desktop

    Creating dynamic views and animations


    Dynamic views and animations are great presentation toolsespecially when presenting geographic information
    to audiences not used to working with complex maps. Globe views are useful for providing context for your area
    of interest, as well as for presenting global geographic phenomena. The ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension contains two
    applications that let you create dynamic views and animationsArcScene and ArcGlobe. Both applications are
    available from the ArcGIS program group on the Start menu, if the 3D Analyst extension is installed. You can also

    create animated maps in ArcMap to show a changing view of your data.

    Navigating ArcScene and ArcGlobe

    Once youve created a view in ArcScene (see Creating relief maps and perspective views), use the Navigate button to
    change the viewing angle and altitude, or use the Fly Over tool to move continuously through the scene.
    Navigate

    Fly over

    The Navigate button lets you change the


    viewing angle and altitudehold down the
    left mouse button, and drag the cursor. In
    y mode, click anywhere on the scene to

    start moving; left-click to speed up, rightclick to slow down. The Fly speed indicator
    in the lower left corner of the window gives
    you a reference.

    In ArcGlobe, a shaded relief image of the earths surface appears by default when you rst open the application. The
    additional layers you place on the globe can cover any geographic extentthey dont have to be global. ArcGlobe has

    two navigation modes you toggle between. In globe mode the navigation tools let you spin the globe to view different
    portions of the earths surface. In surface mode, you navigate across the surface, similar to navigating a view in
    ArcScene. ArcGlobe also lets you walk through the landscape, as well as y over it.
