"}],"short_description":"In ArcGIS Pro 3.2, you can work with 3D tiles datasets version 1.x using local sources and public services.","flexible_content":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"ArcGIS supports a large variety of 3D workflows enabling users to build <\/span>a <\/span>comprehensive <\/span>GIS<\/span> system of record<\/span>.<\/span> By incorporating both 2D and 3D data, you can bring together geospatial information to create, visualize, and analyze complex scenes, as well as <\/span>establish<\/span> a foundation for digital twins<\/a><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> Organizations in the public and private sector<\/span>\u00a0all choose 3D workflows to support different efforts. These efforts can include asset monitoring, building and city planning, and mission planning to perform risk analysis. 3D visualization often emerges as the best solution to support users who need to understand and interpret large volumes of complex location data with greater speed and accuracy. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The demand for city or country wide scale reality meshes capturing the \u201cskin of the earth type\u201d as 3D data is increasing. 3D reality meshes hereby offer an intuitive representation of the real world that is easily understandable by non-geodata specialists, for example top-level decision makers. You can create reality mesh data using applications <\/span>like ArcGIS Reality Studio<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro extension<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>ArcGIS Drone2Map<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Site Scan<\/span><\/a> for ArcGIS or other software. To view massive 3D meshes in a desktop, mobile or web applications, open 3D data standards such as <\/span>3D Scene Layers (i3s)<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>3D Tiles<\/span><\/a> were developed. <\/span>Many users are working with a variety of open 3D data standards, to build their 3D System of Records, it is critical to ensure interoperability of both market-leading data formats within ArcGIS.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the latest update in ArcGIS Pro 3.2, you can incorporate <\/span>3D tiles layers<\/span><\/a> from 3D tiles datasets version 1.x. Your data can be both\u00a0 local sources and public web services<\/span>.<\/span> This expands the type of data sources you can bring to ArcGIS Pro and enables the use of 3D tiles in common <\/span>3D workflows<\/span><\/a>. Here are three examples of what you can now do with 3D tiles layers using ArcGIS Pro 3.2:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A typical 3D workflow is the creation of digital twins. To modify your digital twin to the task you want to accomplish it is essential to combine different layers in one scene.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Let us say you want to combine your 3D tiles layer representing a mesh with your <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>utility data like the water pipes of a city. When you add multiple layers to a scene you will need to make sure that data will align properly. ArcGIS Pro allows you to draw data with different <\/span>spatial references<\/span><\/a> in the same scene.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>3D Tiles specification<\/span><\/a> defines data in geographic coordinate system (WGS 1984) and the vertical coordinate system as ellipsoidal coordinate system (EPSG 4978) WGS 1984. Most authoritative data in GIS are using the official projected coordinate system of the country and gravity related heights if the <\/span>vertical coordinate system<\/span><\/a> is not defined. <\/span>So,<\/span> what does this mean for you and your data?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To properly draw your <\/span>layers,<\/span> you need to <\/span>set the vertical coordinate system<\/span><\/a> in the scene’s properties. For example, in a global scene you could choose EGM96 or EGM2008. Both are gravity related vertical coordinate <\/span>systems<\/span> and will align with layers that have no vertical coordinate system defined. You can install <\/span>supplementary coordinate system files<\/span><\/a> if you are missing transformations to the spatial reference of the layer in the scene. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By setting the vertical coordinate system in the scene the 3D tiles layer is projected into a gravity related vertical coordinate system and you can draw 3D tiles together with any other 3D layers, which in turn would allow you to measure the correct x, y, z position<\/span> with the anticipated height above sea level in the scene.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For example, the image below shows a scene with EGM2008 as vertical coordinate system. The 3D point feature in red is drawing at a height of 297.5 m (about 976.05 ft).<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2155282,"id":2155282,"title":"3dTilesVCS_EGM2008","filename":"EGM2008_CoordinateSystem.png","filesize":992271,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EGM2008_CoordinateSystem.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/work-with-3d-tiles-data-in-arcgis-pro\/egm2008_coordinatesystem","alt":"3D tiles dataset drawing in a scene with gravity-related vertical coordinate system EGM2008.
