Introduction to 3D data

3D Analyst
• 3D Analyst is designed primarily to create
surface elevation data and display it in three
dimensions. It provides additional analysis
functions such as;
• Viewshed
• surface area
• volume calculation
3D Data Overview
• X,Y,Z Values
• 3D Analyst works primarily with;
o Raster
o TIN
o 3D vector feature data
Raster
A raster represents a surface as a rectangular
grid of evenly spaced square cells. Each cell is
the same size and has a unique row and column
address.
Raster Classes
• Raster data is often divided into two
categories:
1. Image
2. thematic
Raster Surface Models
• Rater Interpolation
• Interpolation Barriers
• Natural Neighbors
• Inverse Distance
Weighted
• Spline
• Kriging
• Trend
• Sample Size
Raster Reclassification Methods:
• Slope
• Aspect
• Hillshade
• Viewshed
TIN
• Breaklines
• Replace Polygons
• Clip Polygons
• Erase Polygons
• Fill Polygons
Terrain
• Elevation measurements collected by LiDAR or
SONAR are typically used to create a terrain
because they can result in millions of mass
points.
3D Features
3D vector features, like their 2D counterparts,
represent objects or clearly bordered areas such
as buildings, land parcels, roads, power poles,
and wells. For example, you might create a
scene that shows city points extruded into 3D
columns based on their population.
2.5 - Dimensional and 3 - Dimensional Data

Generally, when we talk • Extruding 2D


about 3D data, we mean coordinates by a set of
2.5 D data. Rasters, TINs, specified values.
and terrains are surfaces
that store exactly one z
value for each x, y value
pair.
True 3D geometric structures
• Multipatches are made of planar 3D rings and triangles
stitched together to model objects like spheres, trees,
rooftops, or buildings with overhanging features.
• Software programs like Sketchup (Google ’ s free 3D
modeling software), 3ds Max, OpenFlight, and VRML
2.0 can create models that 3D Analyst can import into
a geodatabase and use as symbols.
• They can also be used as graphics in ArcScene or
ArcGlobe, without committing them into a
geodatabase.
KML
• KML is a tag - based structure similar to HTML
and XML that can be created or altered in any
text editor.
