Overview

ArcGIS 3D Analyst is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop that allows you to effectively visualize and analyze surface data. Using ArcGIS 3D Analyst, you 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.

With ArcGIS 3D Analyst, you can

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

These are just a few of the ways ArcGIS 3D Analyst can help your organization. Read customer success stories to see how people are using ArcGIS 3D Analyst for 3D visualization and analysis.
