3D Analyst – Feature & Volumetric Analysis July 24, 2012 3D Analyst – Feature & Volumetric Analysis Gert van Maren Jinwu Ma

Workshop Outline Introduction Demonstrations Summary Line-of-sight Analysis Intervisibility Analysis Sub-surface Analysis Shadow Analysis Summary Questions & Answers

Introduction to 3D GeoProcessing 3D Analyst Components 3D Visualization Application Programs ArcScene ArcGlobe 3D Analysis - GeoProcessing: Surface Analysis Conversions Feature-oriented Analysis New at ArcGIS 10 with additions at 10.1

Why 3D GeoProcessing? Prepare data for visualization/analysis Performing surface/feature 3D analysis General GeoProcessing: Batch/non-interactive data processing Higher level functionalities over ArcObjects

What’s New at 10.1? New toolset structure 17 new tools added: Buffer3D Difference3D StackProfile ObserverPoints EncloseMultipatch SunShadowVolume Intersect3DLineWithMultipatch And more LiDAR Dataset GP Tools…
