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.
