Showcase Three-Dimensional Databases in ArcView GIS.and Beyond

ArcView 3D Analyst software provides tools for three-dimensional modeling and analysis. You can create, analyze, and display surface data and other three-dimensional data. You already use maps to examine the spatial relationships in your data—now see the effect that mountains, valleys, building profiles, and other three-dimensional objects have on these relationships.

With ArcView 3D Analyst, you can

• Generate three-dimensional contours.
• Integrate data from computer-aided design (CAD).
• Perform statistical analysis in three dimensions.
• Create density surfaces from attribute data.
• Perform line-of-sight analysis and create three-dimensional visibility maps.
• Work with most common data formats.
• Build true three-dimensional surface models from any point data source (including [GPS]).
• Model real-world surface features, such as buildings as well as subsurface features like wells, mines, groundwater, and underground storage facilities.
• Drape two-dimensional features or image data on three-dimensional surfaces and have complete access to tabular data via interactive query.
