ArcGIS 3D Analyst

ArcGIS 3D Analyst 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.

The ArcGlobe application in ArcGIS 3D Analyst allows you to manage and visualize, from a local or global perspective, extremely large sets of three-dimensional geographic data. ArcGlobe provides the capability to seamlessly interact with any geographic information as data layers on a three-dimensional globe.

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.
