The ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension allows users to effectively visualize and analyze surface data. Using 3D GIS, users can view a surface from multiple viewpoints, query a surface, determine what is visible from a chosen location on a surface, create a realistic perspective image that drapes raster and vector data over a surface, and record or perform three-dimensional navigation. The ArcGlobe application in ArcGIS 3D Analyst allows users to manage and visualize, from a local or global perspective, extremely large sets of three-dimensional geographic data. ArcGIS 3D Analyst provides the capability to seamlessly interact with any geographic information as data layers on a three-dimensional globe and users can

• Create three-dimensional views directly using their GIS data.
• Analyze three-dimensional data using cut/fill, line-of-sight, and terrain modeling.
• View data from a global to local perspective.
• Navigate through multiresolution terrain data seamlessly.
• Perform spatial analysis in two or three dimensions.
• Visualize modeling or analysis results in three dimensions.
• Use three-dimensional models and symbols for realism.
• Export visualizations into videos.
