Web-based Spatial Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Spatial analysis involves examining the locations, attributes, and relationships of spatial features to uncover patterns, trends, and insights. Scene Viewer now\u00a0supports spatial analysis<\/a>\u00a0directly within the 3D web environment. This feature allows you to perform a variety of spatial analysis tasks seamlessly without having to switch between 2D and 3D interfaces.<\/p>\n

In this release, we introduce 26 Feature Analysis tools and 13 Raster Analysis tools with the plan to support more in the future. Feature analysis is performed on vector data sources, which is coordinate-based data that represents geographic features using points, lines, and polygons. Imagery and raster data contains information that can be used to identify patterns, find features, and understand change across landscapes using Raster analysis tools. All of these asynchronous tools are performed on the server and will return accurate results as layers, which can be used in web scenes afterwards.\u00a0We will have another blog to illustrate the details of how to best use the features.<\/p>\n

Note: The administrator of your organization will need to grant you the required privileges to perform analysis. Learn more about licensing requirements from\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2803552,"id":2803552,"title":"Spatial Analysis","filename":"Spatial-Analysis.png","filesize":1773297,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/3d-gis\/whats-new-in-scene-viewer-may-2025\/spatial-analysis-2","alt":"","author":"336262","description":"","caption":"Generate a walk time analysis from the Vienna train stations in Scene Viewer","name":"spatial-analysis-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2803172,"date":"2025-05-22 17:26:20","modified":"2025-05-22 17:26:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1520,"height":820,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":250,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":414,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","large-width":1520,"large-height":820,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","1536x1536-width":1520,"1536x1536-height":820,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","2048x2048-width":1520,"2048x2048-height":820,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis-826x446.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":446,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Spatial-Analysis.png","wide_image-width":1520,"wide_image-height":820}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Interactive Viewshed Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the key new additions is the ability to\u00a0perform viewshed analysis<\/a>\u00a0within 3D scenes interactively. You can identify visible and obstructed areas from specific viewpoints, making this feature particularly useful for industries such as security, urban planning, and real estate, where visibility plays a critical role.<\/p>\n

You can adjust distance, tilt, heading, horizontal and vertical field of view. Multiple viewsheds can be generated to enhance coverage analysis, and results can be easily shared via web scene slides, improving collaboration and decision-making. Together with the other interactive analysis tools like measurement, elevation profile, line of sight, and slice, you will be able to explore 3D context and generate impactful geospatial analysis and communication.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2949276,"id":2949276,"title":"Scene Viewer Enterprise Viewshed","filename":"Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","filesize":9005288,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/3d-gis\/whats-new-in-scene-viewer-may-2025\/scene-viewer-enterprise-viewshed","alt":"","author":"336262","description":"","caption":"Perform Viewshed Analysis to find better camera locations in Bear Lake area to observe fire progress in Line Fire","name":"scene-viewer-enterprise-viewshed","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2803172,"date":"2025-11-18 23:39:27","modified":"2025-11-18 23:41:02","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1060,"height":698,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","medium-width":396,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":506,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","large-width":1060,"large-height":698,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","1536x1536-width":1060,"1536x1536-height":698,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","2048x2048-width":1060,"2048x2048-height":698,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed-706x465.gif","card_image-width":706,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Scene-Viewer-Enterprise-Viewshed.gif","wide_image-width":1060,"wide_image-height":698}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Initial support of Oriented Imagery layer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An oriented imagery layer is a type of feature layer for visualizing oriented imagery in the context of 2D or 3D. You can bring\u00a0a published Oriented Imagery layer<\/a>\u00a0to Scene Viewer to provide inspections and real-time situational awareness in 3D context.
