IN THIS TUTORIAL

• Copying the tutorial data

• Exercise 1: Draping an image over a terrain surface

• Exercise 2: Visualizing contamination in an aquifer

• Exercise 3: Visualizing soil contamination and thyroid cancer rates

• Exercise 4: Building a TIN to represent terrain

The best way to learn ESRI ArcGIS 3D Analyst is to use it. In the exercises in this tutorial, you will do the

following:

• Use ArcCatalog to find and preview 3D data.

• Add data to ArcScene.

• Set 3D properties for viewing data.

• Create new 3D feature data from 2D features and surfaces.

• Create new raster surface data from point data.

• Build a TIN surface from existing feature data.

• Make animations.

• Learn how to use ArcGlobe and manage its data content.

To use this tutorial, you need to have the 3D Analyst extension and ArcGIS installed and have the tutorial

data installed on a local or shared network drive on your system. Ask your system administrator for the

correct path to the tutorial data if you do not find it at the default installation path specified in the tutorial.

3D Analyst Tutorial

Copying the tutorial data

First, you will copy the tutorial data to a local drive. You will use ArcCatalog to browse to and copy the data.

Copying the tutorial data

Steps:

1. Start ArcCatalog by clicking Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcCatalog 10.

ArcCatalog lets you find and manage your data. The left side of the ArcCatalog window is called

the Catalog Tree; it gives you a bird's-eye view of how your data is organized and provides a

hierarchical view of the geographic data in your folders. The right side of ArcCatalog displays the

contents of the selected branch of the Catalog tree.

2. Click in the Location combo box and type the path C:\arcgis\ArcTutor , which is where the

tutorial data is installed and press ENTER.

The ArcTutor folder is now the selected branch of the Catalog Tree. You can see its contents in

the Contents tab.

3. Right-click the 3DAnalyst folder and click Copy .

4. Click the Connect to Folder button, and choose the local drive where you want to place a copy

of the tutorial data to work from, then click OK .

5. Right-click the local drive you just made in your Folder Connections list and click Paste .
