00:01So here's our plan of what we are going to cover in today's workshop.

00:07I'll be starting off with a brief overview of the 3D Analyst extension.

00:12We'll see what all the extension offers to you.

00:16Then I’m going to cover some of the key concepts of the ArcGlobe application.

00:21So it is one of the 3D visualization applications that you get with the 3D Analyst extension.

00:28So following that, Michael is going to give you a quick demo of ArcGlobe...

00:32...and basically show you the navigation experience inside ArcGlobe...

00:37...and the enhancements related to navigation that have been made at 10.

00:44After the first seminar, I'm going to quickly go over the ArcScene application.

00:49Then we'll look at the tools available on the 3D Effects toolbar.

00:54Or you can use those for doing some quick visual analysis of your data.

01:00Then we'll look at 3D symbology, which you apply to your feature data to create realistic-looking 3D scenes.

01:06So we'll look at the options that are available to you in both ArcGlobe and ArcScene.

01:12So something new at 10 is 3D editing. So now you have editing capability inside both ArcGlobe and ArcScene.

01:21So I'll briefly talk about 3D editing next.

01:25And then I'm going to cover graphics, animation tools, the customization framebook...

01:31...and I'll also talk a little bit about the 3D geoprocessing tools that are available to you with the extension.

01:40After that, Michael is going to give you a second and final demo.

01:44And after the demo, that will be the end of the workshop.

01:47And then we'll be open for discussion or any questions that you may have.

01:53So what is 3D Analyst?

01:55Well it is an ArcGIS extension that offers you capabilities for interactive 3D visualization of your spatial data.

02:05So there are two stand-alone applications.

02:08There's ArcGlobe and ArcScene that you get with the 3D Analyst extension.

02:14And you can add your data to these applications and visualize those, visualize the data and interact with the data.

02:22So you can navigate around. You can identify features...all the standard stuff that you are used to with ArcMap.

02:29You can do similar stuff in ArcGlobe and ArcScene.

02:33Now in addition to visualizing your data, you can also edit your data.

02:37So as I said, this is new at 10.

02:39So you can create new features or you can edit existing features within both ArcGlobe and ArcScene.

02:47So there's a 3D Editor toolbar, which is new at 10, which is available in both the applications.

02:54Can everyone hear me at the, in the back?

02:57Okay.

02:59So, next is you also get analysis capabilities with the 3D Analyst extension.

03:05So there is a rich set of 3D geoprocessing tools, which can be used for surface creation.

03:12So you can create 10 terrain raster datasets.

03:16You can use the geoprocessing tools for surface and feature analysis.

03:21You can convert data from one format to another and you can extract data.

03:25So you can extract feature data from your surfaces.

03:30Now in ca-, in case of ArcGlobe, once you have created your documents...

03:34...once you have created your nice-looking ArcGlobe documents...

03:37...for example, if you create a virtual city, then you can publish those documents as services using ArcGIS Server.

03:46So once your services are published, then your clients can consume those services, either inside ArcGIS Desktop...

03:52...so if they have ArcGIS Desktop installed on, on their local machines, they can consume your services within ArcGlobe...

04:00...or if they don't have ArcGIS installed or they don't have the 3D Analyst extension, then they can download the free client.

04:06That's is ArcGIS Explorer. So it's a free download; they can download it.

04:12View your data in track with your services, and in case you have any animation stored with your documents, those are also served.

04:23So your clients will be able to play your animations as well.

04:27Now you can also publish your [Arc]Globe documents for use in ArcReader, so you can use the Publisher toolbar for doing that.

04:35That's available inside ArcGlobe.

04:37So basically you can create your data, you can visualize the data...

04:42...you can analyze it, and then you can also serve it with the 3D Analyst extension.

04:50So here are the full Desktop applications, which have 3D functionality.

04:55So the two on top are ArcGlobe and ArcScene.

04:58And I'll be talking more about these later on in the slides.

05:01So I'm going to skip these for now.

05:04The one in the lower-left corner is ArcMap, so as most of you probably already know, ArcMap is a 2D mapping application.

05:13However, with the 3D Analyst extension, you get access to the 3D Analyst toolbar.

05:19And there are a number of tools available on the toolbar which can be used for performing 3D analysis within ArcMap.

05:26So examples are Create Line of Sight tool.

05:29There's a Profile Graph tool. And there a couple of other tools available out there.

05:35Now once you have run your analysis inside ArcMap, if you want to also visualize your results in 3D...

05:41...then you can simply copy the results from ArcMap and paste those into ArcScene or ArcGlobe.

05:48So the exchange of the results between these applications is a simple copy-paste experience.

05:54So you just copy all your results, paste those into another application.

05:59The last application listed over here is ArcCatalog.

06:03So you use ArcCatalog for data management, for creating new feature datasets...

06:09...creating new geodatabases, copying over data from one location to another.

06:13And you can also preview your data in ArcCatalog.

06:17Now with the 3D Analyst extension you can preview your data in 3D.

06:21So you get access to two views. There's a 3D view, which is similar to the ArcScene view.

06:28So it's a, your data would be very visible as it would be inside ArcScene.

06:36And the second one is the globe view, which is similar to the ArcGlobe view...

06:40...similar to what the data would look like in ArcGlobe.

06:43So you can also preview your documents using these views.

06:46So you can preview your [Arc]Scene documents using the 3D view, and you can preview the [Arc]Globe documents using the Globe view.

06:54Now in all of these applications, all the four applications...

06:58...you do have access to ArcToolbox and that's where all the 3D geoprocessing tools reside.

07:05So in case of ArcGlobe and ArcScene, you always have the 3D Analyst Geoprocessing tools available.

07:12However, for ArcMap and ArcCatalog you need to enable the 3D Analyst extension...

07:17...and then you'll be able to use the 3D Geoprocessing tools present inside ArcToolbox.

07:26For data types, all the vector feature types are supported, so you're already familiar with points, lines, and polygons.

07:35And multipatches are used for representing your 3D objects.

07:40So examples would be your buildings, cars, trees...

07:45...so any 3D objects are represented inside ArcGIS using the multipatch data type.

07:52For surfaces, there's support for TINs, which are triangular irregular networks, rasters as well as terrain datasets.

08:00So you can create these datasets using the 3D Geoprocessing tools.

08:07Next let's look at ArcGlobe.

08:09So as I mentioned, this is one of the 3D visualization apps that you get with the extension.

08:15And as its name suggests, you interact with data that is placed on a 3D globe.

08:22So there's support for both maplike as well as oblique views.

08:28What we mean by maplike views is if you look in the graphic on the slide, the two smaller viewers...

08:34...the secondary viewers in the lower-left corner, those are the top-down views of your data.

08:40So that's what the maplike view is. It's a top-down view. You're not actually seeing the data in 3D.

08:46And the oblique view is where you tilt the globe and view your data in perspective.

08:51So you are basically viewing your data in 3D, and that's the main viewer, where you're seeing the buildings.

08:56So there's support for both types of views.

09:01ArcGlobe has one logical globe surface, so, what we mean by that is...

09:07...that you can add multiple elevation datasets to ArcGlobe...

09:11...but it will automatically stitch those together to present you with one globe surface.

09:16So it creates one multiresolution mesh upon which then you subsequently add your own data.

09:23So example would be that you could have a 30-meter elevation data and a 90-meter elevation dataset.

09:30So you could add both of those to ArcGlobe, but the application will create one surface from those two elevation datasets.

09:38So in areas where you have the 30-meter elevation, that's what will be used over there.

09:45Now one of the main features of the ArcGlobe application is that it can handle large amounts of data...

09:51...as opposed to ArcScene, which is more suitable for smaller datasets and for smaller well-defined study areas.

10:00And the reason ArcGlobe can handle large amounts of data is that it employs two mechanisms.

10:05One is caching and the second one is levels of detail.

10:10So there are two types of caching. There's disk caching and memory caching.

10:15So disk caching refers to tiles that get stored on your local machine for reuse at a later time.

10:24And memory caching, whatever is displayed to you by the application...

10:28...by the ArcGlobe application, it is being loaded into the memory cache...

10:31...basically your computer's memory, and is being displayed to you.

10:35So there's a continuous swapping of tiles that goes on between the disk cache and the memory cache on an as-needed basis.

10:43So for example, if you navigate to an area on the globe, and the memory cache is already full...

10:49...then some of the tiles which are not being used in the memory cache, are discarded...

10:54...and fresh tiles from the disk cache are loaded into the memory cache, and those are then displayed to you.

11:00So this is an advanced topic and we won't go into much detail on this over here.

11:05If you need more information on this, I guess the Visualization with ArcGlobe session...

11:10...should cover this topic more than we would be covering over here.

11:14And another good source is ArcGIS Desktop Help.

11:18There's a lot of detailed information on caching...

11:20...as well as how you can configure your memory caches for improving the performance of ArcGlobe.

11:27The second concept is levels of detail.

11:30So ArcGlobe employs multiple levels of detail for displaying your raster data, your imagery.

11:37So what do we mean by that?

11:40So here's a simple explanation in the graphic on the left...the image.

11:45In the image you don't see much detail. This is because you are zoomed out.

11:50So when you start to zoom in, you progressively start to see more and more detail in your image.

11:56And as we are zoomed in very close, you'll see the full detail of your imagery.

12:01So basically, multiple levels of detail mean that when you're zoomed out you get a coarser representation of your data.

12:07And as you zoom in, you start to get more and more detail in your data.

12:12So that's, again, an advanced topic, again, the same thing...

12:17...refer to the Desktop Help or attend the advanced workshop on ArcGlobe.

12:26Now the layers, the data that you add inside ArcGlobe...

12:29...it gets classified into one of the following three types that are listed over here, elevation, draped, and floating.

12:36So let's look at these one by one.

12:39So elevation layers are those which define the globe surface.

12:43So these are the ones that provide the elevation information.

12:46So in the graphic on the slide I have an image, but I don't have any elevation data.

12:51So if I add some elevation data to the elevation category, it will define the globe surface.

13:00The second type of layers are the draped layers.

13:02So these are the layers which do not have their own height information.

13:07So example would be your imagery.

13:09So the raster imagery that I have turned on right now, it doesn't have its own height information.

13:15It gets draped on the base surface.

13:18So it's getting its height from the elevation data that you have added, added to the globe.

13:23The third type of layers are the floating layers.

13:28So these are the layers which have their own height information.

13:31So these are, these do not get their height information from the globe surface.

13:36These are not relative to the globe surface.

13:39An example would be your 3D point feature layer representing airplanes.

13:45So your airplanes have their own height information, so you could potentially classify those as floating layers.

13:52And Michael is actually going to show you during the demo, how these...

13:56...where these layers are classified in the table of contents; the elevation, floating, and drape categories.

14:05So we have two navigation modes. I already talked about these.

14:08The one on the left is the global navigation mode.

14:11So this is the maplike or the top-down view of your data.

14:15And the one on your right is the surface navigation mode, which is the...

14:19...where you tilt the globe and view your data in perspective.

14:23Again, Michael is going to show, show this to you in his demo, which is next.

14:28So I'm going to hand it over to Michael.

14:34Can everybody hear me okay? Good.

14:38Okay, well thanks Deepinder.

14:41Well, here's the main display of how ArcGlobe looks like. This is for those of you who haven't seen it before.

14:47Here's the main toolbar section area.

14:51And here is the table of contents.

14:54And as Deepinder talked about in slides, there're three main categories of how your layers will be displayed on ArcGlobe.

15:00They're either going to be displayed as floating layers, drape layers, or elevation layers.

15:06Right now, I don't have any floating layers. I have a couple of drape layers and two elevation layers.

15:13So when you open ArcGlobe, it opens up with some default content that includes some high-resolution imagery...

15:21...two elevation layers, a transportation layer, and boundaries layers...

15:25...which are turned off by default, but you can turn it back on if you would like to.

15:29You can use this default content as your base document or you can also use the imagery as your reference for doing the editing.

15:37This default content is provided by ArcGIS Online and it's also available for download.

15:43Also, if you have your own data, and you want this data to be your default layers, so that every time you open ArcGlobe...

15:50...you can do that by going to Customize > ArcGlobe Options, and here there's a tab called Default Layers.

16:00Just click Use my choice of default layers.

16:05There's other options that you can use here and you can even say that you don't want any default layers...

16:11...and you just get an empty globe. And then you add your own data.

16:16You can also change any application settings in this window, such as changing your default content...

16:24...turning off warning messages, and configuring your caches.

16:31And there's other default settings that you can change also in this window.

16:37Next, we're moving to navigation in ArcGlobe.

16:42So the default tool is the one that is selected right now, and it's available here on the Tools toolbar.

16:52If I click and hold the left mouse button, I can rotate the globe.

17:00And if I hold the right mouse button, and I drag in for zooming in and drag out for zooming out.

17:11Another useful way of navigating in ArcGlobe is using bookmarks.

17:15This is something that you would use quite a bit when you start using ArcGlobe.

17:20You can use bookmarks when you're navigating in ArcGlobe...

17:22...and you want to capture certain camera location to use it in another location.

17:28So for example, if you go to this location and you want to store this location to come back to it later...

17:36...you can go to that Bookmarks menu, click on Create, and here I'm going to rename my bookmark to View1.

17:48Click OK.

17:51And now I can go back to another location, but if I would like to go back to that previous location...

17:57...I would just go back to Bookmarks, click on my view, and here we go.

18:02This is a simple way of navigating in ArcGlobe by using bookmarks.

18:08I'm going now to a previous bookmark that I have made earlier of the San Diego Convention Center area.

18:16So here we have the convention center and the downtown area.

18:23So now, continuing with navigation.

18:26In the slides, Deepinder talked about two navigation methods, which are global navigation mode and surface navigation mode.

18:35So far, we have been using that global navigation mode, which is that top-down view of your data.

18:42If you want to change to the Surface mode...

18:44...you can click that Navigation mode button, which is right here on the Tools toolbar.

18:50Now, the easiest way to change to Surface mode is to click the middle mouse button once and notice how my cursor changes.

19:02Now, I'm in Surface mode.

19:05So if I hold down the left mouse key and drag up or down, I can tilt the globe.

19:19Another useful tool is the Pan tool located here on the Tools toolbar.

19:25Or if you're in Surface mode, you can hold down the middle mouse button and it changes to the Pan function.

19:38There're other functions that you can use to navigate around ArcGlobe...

19:42...such as the Fly tool, Set Up Server, and other functions.

19:47Now, one of the new enhancements on ArcGIS 10 is using that targeted zooming function on the surface navigation mode.

19:56So now, you can click and hold the right mouse button and drag up or down to zoom in or out of an area or a feature.

20:05So if I click and hold the right mouse button, notice how the cursor changes.

20:13Now I can drag up or down to zoom in or out to the central targeted area in the symbol.

20:21So for example, if I place it here on the convention center, I can zoom into that particular area.

20:28And I can zoom out.

20:30Also, if I select here the baseball park, I can now zoom into that particular area also.

20:37So these are new enhancements for ArcGIS 10 to, how to navigate around ArcGlobe.

20:42Another enhancement for 3D Analyst application for 10...

20:45...is the support of 3D navigation device for ArcGlobe and ArcScene, straight out of the box.

20:51So, for example, the one that I'm using now is the 3D collection that I just plug in right out of the box.

20:58This helps me to easily visualize and navigate around my 3D data.

21:03This also improved the 3D navigation experience around the globe.

21:07So I can zoom in, rotate, tilt the view, and I can also zoom out to full extent.

21:20The 3D navigation device that I'm using right now looks something like this, but you...

21:24...there's other products also that you can buy and they're going to be able to work straight out of the box.

21:31So this concludes the first part of my demo, and now Deepinder is going to continue with the second part of the presentation...

21:37...followed by my second and final part of the demo.

21:43Thanks Michael. Okay, so coming back to the slides, let's look at ArcScene next.

21:50So ArcScene is the second 3D visualization application that you get with the extension...

21:57...and as I mentioned, ArcScene is a memory-based application.

22:02So whatever data you add inside ArcScene, it gets loaded into the computer's memory and is displayed to you.

22:09So there's no caching going on inside ArcScene as it do-, as we have in ArcGlobe.

22:14So as a result, the amount of data that you add, that you can add inside ArcScene...

22:20...it is limited by the amount of physical, available physical memory on your machine.

22:27So basically, ArcScene is not suitable for handling large amounts of data.

22:32So if your study areas are small and well defined, your datasets are not too huge, then you should, you can use ArcScene.

22:40However, if you are working with larger datasets, then you should explore the use of ArcGlobe for your work.

22:47One of the features which is unique to ArcScene is Studio Viewing.

22:51So it is supported inside [Arc]Scene but not in [Arc]Globe.

22:54And there are a couple of different modes which are supported...

22:57...and there's a lot of help information in the Desktop Help if you need to use this function.

23:07In both [Arc]Scene and [Arc]Globe you get access to the 3D Effects toolbar.

23:11So the tools on the 3D Effects toolbar are used for real-time feedback for transparency...

23:19...for front and back face Culling, for turning lighting on or off on a per-layer basis...

23:25...for setting the depth priority inside ArcScene.

23:29So depth priority basically means, for example, if you have two polygon layers in [Arc]Scene, which are at the same height...

23:37...then you may have some conflicts of when those layers are displayed.

23:42So in order to avoid that, you can set a lower depth priority for one of the layers, as compared to the other one...

23:48...and in that case, the layer with the higher priority will be, will always be displayed above the other layer.

23:54So you won't have any conflicts in visualization.

23:58Two tools that are available only inside ArcGlobe are the Swipe tool and the Flicker tool.

24:03So why would you use the 3D Effects tools?

24:09Well, you can do some quick visual analysis using these tools.

24:12So for example, let's take transparency.

24:16So in this graphic over here, I have imagery for a lake and the area surrounding the lake...

24:22...and you can also see a dam that is, that is constructed on the lake.

24:27Now in this scene I also have layers representing the internal structure of the dam.

24:32However, right now you cannot see those because the aerial imagery is overlapping those layers.

24:38So what I can do is I can apply some transparency to the aerial imagery and then you can see the layers that lie underneath it.

24:46So this is a very simple but powerful, or quick, visual analysis that you can do...

24:51...where you can see how the layers are arranged in relation to one another.

24:56Another use of transparency could be in before-and-after-effect scenarios.

25:02So, for example, if you have imagery for a region, before and after wildfires...

25:07...you could overlay those images on top of each other...

25:11...and apply transparency to one of the layers to see how the wildfires have affected the region.

25:18You can, in case of ArcGlobe, you can also use the Slide tool for doing before-and-after-effect scenarios.

25:23So with the Slide tool, you basically, interactively drag one of the layers away.

25:29So you set your target layer and then you use the Slide tool to drag one of the layers away...

25:34...and then you can see what, what other layers lie underneath that layer.

25:41So 3D symbology is applied to your feature data and you use 3D symbology to add realism to your documents.

25:49So you can create realistic-looking documents using 3D symbology.

25:53As an example, in the graphic I have some data for a housing locality.

26:00So we have green points that represent trees, the brown points represent houses...

26:06...and the red points represent some street furniture like stop signs and cars, et cetera.

26:11However, with the simple 2D symbology, means you can't really say what you're looking at unless I tell you...

26:18...or unless you look at the legend.

26:20So if you apply proper 3D symbology, see how the scene transforms.

26:26So now I don't have to tell you that the green symbols were trees or the, what points represented the houses.

26:36So in this way you can create realistic-looking documents if you use 3D symbology in your workflow.

26:43So there are a number of different options that are available to you for applying 3D symbology...

26:47...and one of the very useful features is to apply symbology based on an attribute.

26:53So for example, in this graphic, in this scene, I have houses of a number of different kinds.

27:00So instead of going to each feature and applying symbology separately...

27:04...if I had that information stored in the, stored as an attribute, in the attribute table for my feature layer...

27:11...then I could use that information to automatically assign symbology by using this option that is matched to symbols in a style.

27:21So what this option does is, it will read that attribute information...

27:24...and will match it to the existing symbols in a style gallery and apply those symbols.

27:32Other features that you can apply based on attribute are Size by Attribute.

27:36So if you have the size information for your features...

27:40...you could, you could store that in the attribute as well and the software will automatically assign sizes to your symbols.

27:46And there's also Rotation by Attribute.

27:48So if you have orientation information, that can also be applied based on an attribute.

27:53So Michael is actually going to give you, show you how you can use all these three features during his demo.

28:01So ArcGIS ships with a number of, with a rich set of styles...

28:06...and there are a number of 3D styles as well, that are shipped with the product.

28:10So let's quickly look at the different symbology options you have with, for 3D.

28:15So for point features, you can apply 3D geometric parameters.

28:20So geometric parameters would be simple 3D models like a sphere, a cones, a cube, tetrahedron, and so on.

28:30You can, if you don't want simple models, you can use the textured models.

28:35You can use the out-of-the-box styles. So there are a number of styles that ship with the product.

28:39For example, we have 3D trees style, with a number of different tree symbols.

28:45There's a 3D street furniture style. There's a 3D residential style, 3D style for commercial buildings, and so on.

28:55So these are provided to you out of the box.

28:57Now if you have your own third-party models, for example, if you have your textured COLLADA models...

29:05...catch-up files, open-flight files, or 3ds Max files, you can use those for applying symbology as well.

29:12So those can be imported inside, imported into the software for applying symbology to your point features.

29:18Another option is using 3D character marker symbols for your point data.

29:27For lines, in case of ArcScene, you have the option to apply 3D geometric perimeters.

29:33So you can assign tube symbols to your line features.

29:38So for example, if you have line, line datasets representing gas pap-, pipelines or water mains...

29:45...then instead of applying the simple line feature symbology, line symbology to your line, to your features, you can create tubes.

29:54So then you'll have actual pipes instead of line, simple line symbology.

30:00You can also create strips. So strips would be flat on the ground.

30:05And walls, the last option is walls, which would be vertical symbols.

30:11You can also apply 3D texture line symbols.

30:15So if you have, for example, a line feature representing streets...

30:19...then you can apply pavement or concrete texture to that feature layer...

30:25...then you'll have a lot more realistic symbology than simple solid fill line symbology.

30:33Again, in case of polygons, you can apply 3D texture fill symbols.

30:37So for example, if you have a polygon layer representing parks, then you can apply grass textures to it.

30:45And again, that will add a lot more realism than a solid fill green sym-, green color to your polygons.

30:55Now as I mentioned, 3D editing is new at 10.

30:59So in both ArcGlobe and ArcScene there's a new toolbar called the 3D Editor toolbar and it's shown in the graphic over here.

31:06So using the tools on the 3D Editor toolbar you can modify your existing features.

31:12So you can move your features to a new location. You can rotate the features.

31:17You can scale them, basically meaning you can make them bigger or smaller, interactively.

31:23And then I say, you can move the features.

31:26Then you can move the features in both in the x,y plane so they maintain their height...

31:31...or you can change the height of the features.

31:34So you can interactively drag the features up or down.

31:38There are a number of other commands and tools which are specific to 3D.

31:44For example, there's a Duplicate Vertical command, which is highlighted in the graphic over there.

31:49So you can use the Duplicate Vertical command for modeling, for example, the floors of a building.

31:56So if you have modeled the first, or one of the floors of a building, and you quickly want to create other floors...

32:03...then what you can do is, you can select all the features of...of the floor that you have already created...

32:09...and then provide an offset by using the Duplicate Vertical command...

32:13...and then all the features that you had selected would be duplicated at the specified offset.

32:18So it's a very easy way of creating floors of a building, or maybe it means there could be other use cases as well.

32:28For 3D editing, we are making use of the new template-based editing experience...

32:33...so in ArcMap at 10, there's a, the editing experience is based on templates, and ArcGlobe and ArcScene use the same experience.

32:43And for snapping, we make use of classical, classic snapping.

32:47So at 10, ArcMap has a new snapping environment...

32:51...but ArcGlobe and ArcScene are using the older snapping environment that was before 10, that existed in ArcMap.

32:59And again, Michael will give you a quick demo of 3D editing.

33:05In both the applications, in ArcGlobe and ArcScene, there's a 3D Graphics toolbar.

33:10So you can digitize point, line, polygon, and text graphics in your documents.

33:16So if you want to create one, or entity, means you don't want a feature class.

33:21For example, you want, just want to place one street lamp in your document...

33:26...or you want to place some descriptive text for a building, then you could use the 3D Graphics toolbar to do that.

33:35And just as you can do for your features...

33:37...you can apply symbology to your features in the same way you can apply symbology to your graphics.

33:43So you can apply, for example, a SketchUp model to your point graphic as well.

33:51And another thing to note is that these graphics are persisted with your document.

33:55So if you create graphics, save your document, close it. The next time you open it up, the graphic will still be there.

34:01So it's not just within the session; it's persisted with your documents.

34:06In ArcGlobe we have strong support for KML. So KML is Keyhole Markup Language.

34:12So we have strong support for KML 2.2.

34:14And there's a KML toolbar inside ArcGlobe, which can be used for adding the KML files, the local KML files you have.

34:22Or you can also add the KML network links.

34:26And there are actually a couple of geoprocessing tools as well...

34:30...which can be used for exporting your layer files or your map files to KML.

34:37So you can consume KML as well as export your data as KML.

34:41And those would be available in ArcToolbox.

34:45I guess you may have to search for it, but they should be under conversion or data management. Somewhere.

34:53We have a rich set of animation tools, so you can create a number of different types of animations.

35:00For example, you can create camera flybys.

35:02So what you do is, you capture certain keyframe locations in your scene, and when you play the animation...

35:08...the software automatically interpolates between those keyframe locations...

35:14...the position of the camera, and the result is a smooth animation.

35:18So you can create camera flybys, you can create scene animation, layer animation, and so on.

35:23So there are some differences between the types of animations you can create in [Arc]Scene versus [Arc]Globe...

35:29...and we won't go into much detail over here...

35:31...because there's a whole workshop on animations, which is being offered today and I think tomorrow as well.

35:38So you can attend that if you need more information on animations.

35:44Three-D geoprocessing, all the 3D geoprocessing tools are located inside ArcToolbox under the 3D Analyst toolkit.

35:54So I already mentioned you can access these tools in any of the applications in ArcMap and ArcCatalog as well, if you have the extension enabled.

36:03So the tools, the 3D geoprocessing tools have logically, are fun-, are logically grouped together.

36:11So all the conversion tools are grouped under the Conversion toolset and so are the TIN and terrain tools.

36:19So you can use these tools for creating surfaces so you can create TINs, you can create terrain datasets, edit those.

36:27You can create raster datasets and in addition to creating surfaces, you can do surface analysis.

36:33You can do feature analysis. A new tool at 10 is the Skyline tool. You can also extract feature data from your surfaces.

36:42So for example, you can extract line features from your TIN datasets.

36:47You can also convert data from one format to another.

36:50So for example, we have the Layer 3D to Feature Class tool, geoprocessing tool...

36:58...which can convert your symbolized point feature class into a multipatch feature class.

37:04So it's a very useful tool once you start working with 3D Analyst with ArcGlobe...

37:09...you may feel the need to use the tool to create your own multipatch feature classes from...

37:15...by importing the third-party models for example, and then importing those into the ArcGIS format.

37:23Again, we won't go into much detail.

37:25There are actually a couple of workshops that have, that are being offered on 3D geoprocessing...

37:31...on feature and surface analysis, on creating terrain datasets and, so you can attend those for more information.

37:39For customization, there are different levels of customization that you can do.

37:43So at a very simple level, you can customize the UI of ArcGlobe and ArcScene, so you can move the toolbars around...

37:50...you can change the location of the table of contents, and so you can basically modify the UI according to your own preferences.

38:00A step above that would be using Visual Basic for Applications for creating some custom components...

38:07...custom command, or a custom tool within these applications.

38:11And an advanced-level of customization for [ArcGIS] Desktop would be creating add-ins.

38:16So you can create custom functionality using any of these languages listed over here.

38:21That's C#, Visual Basic, .NET, Java, C++, et cetera.

38:26You can also use Python scripting for your geoprocessing tasks.

38:31So, but, these are advanced-level customizations.

38:35Now in case you don't want to use ArcGlobe and ArcScene...

38:38...so you don't want the out-of-the-box 3D applications that are provided...

38:42...then you can create your own 3D applications from scratch.

38:47So if you have a highly customized workflow or use case...

38:50...then you can use Scene control or Globe control engine components for creating your own 3D applications.

38:57And you can write your own custom tool...

38:59...or there are some tools which are provided out of the box that you can add to your applications.

39:05And in these custom applications also, you can use your existing [Arc]Scene and [Arc]Globe documents.

39:10So if you write a Scene control application, you can still view the [Arc]Scene documents that you had or someone else sent to you.

39:19Similarly for [Arc]Globe documents.

39:22So now Michael is going to give you a demo where he'll be covering most of the stuff that we have talked about in the slides.

39:33Okay. Thank you Deepinder.

39:37Okay. So for this part of the demo, I'm going to create a 3D view of the area around San Diego Convention Center.

39:45So I have some 2D polygon data that represents the buildings footprint in this area.

39:55And as you can see, these are 2D footprints...

39:59...so these are just polygon data that can be displayed in ArcMap and ArcScene as 2D polygons.

40:08But if you want to create 3D building blocks out of this data, then you can apply extrusion to your features.

40:16So to apply extrusion to this layer, we will go to that Layer Properties...

40:23...and here there's a tab called Globe Extrusion.

40:29So I can type in the value here, and this is a constant value, so let's say, 100...

40:38...so now all the features will be extruded to the same height.

40:43But that's not what I want, because I have the building height for each feature stored in a field on the attributes table.

40:51So I can extrude the features using these values. Just select the field that contains those values for each feature.

40:59In this case, I place the values on a field called Meters.

41:06I'll click OK, then OK.

41:13So now, each feature is extruded to the attributes field containing the building's height.

41:21So now, at a very simple level, I have created 3D features out of my 2D data.

41:26These are only display changes. So your base data won't change.

41:31And it's not like your building's footprints have now been converted into multipatches.

41:36If you want to do that, then you can export these extruded buildings into a feature class, multipatch, using a geoprocessing tool.

41:47Also, these are nontextured buildings, so if you have textured buildings...

41:53...like realistic textured models, you can add those straight into your 3D view.

42:00So I have a layer here with some textured buildings. That includes the convention center over here.

42:14It also includes two hotels.

42:19So, these extruded objects are multipatch stored in a multipatch feature class.

42:25And I got those, these models, from the 3D Warehouse...

42:29...and imported it, those into multipatch feature class, and that's what we're looking [at] right now.

42:40So I'm going to turn on a layer called Trees so that we have palm trees over here.

42:52So these are actually point features that are being symbolized with the palm tree symbol...

42:57...that I have used out of the box from the Tree style to assign the symbology.

43:02I also apply random rotation to these trees so that their orientation looks more realistic...

43:08...otherwise, all of them will have the same orientation.

43:13So to apply 3D symbology, let's look at this example.

43:18I have a point layer called Cars...

43:24...that has three point features that represents cars but they're being symbolized with the default Pushpin symbol.

43:31So let's look at the attributes table for cars.

43:39Here you can see that I have an attribute field called Model, which defines how each feature should be symbolized as.

43:48This is what Deepinder talked about in the slides, with attribute-based symbology.

43:53Another field here is Angle. This is our rotation information.

43:59So if I know the rotation of my features, I can put that in the rotation table as well...

44:04...and apply the rotation to each feature based on an attribute.

44:08So to apply symbology, I'll go to that Layer Properties...

44:17...and there's a Symbology tab.

44:21Here, I'm going on the Categories, and I'm going to select Match to symbols in a style.

44:28So we will be using the out-of-the-box 3D vehicle style to apply symbology.

44:34First, I will select my attribute field that had the model description.

44:38In this case, the field is named Model.

44:43Then I will browse to a style, and you have these styles on your machine, and if you haven't used it...

44:51...they can be found under your ArcGIS Installation directory...

44:54...that should be something like "Program files, ArcGIS Desktop 10," and there should be a folder there called Styles.

45:02And here is where all the styles are stored.

45:05So I'm going to select the 3D vehicle style and say Open.

45:14So the other thing that I need to do now is click on the Match symbols button, and the proper symbology...

45:24...will be matched to the one with each feature attribute.

45:28So now, I'm going to select all the symbols...

45:35...and give them a size of 3.

45:40Then I'm going to click OK...and OK.

45:46So now, we have cars there with the proper symbology, but they don't have the proper orientation.

45:55As you can see, the three of them are looking to the same direction.

46:01So to apply orientation, I will go back to the Symbology tab on the Layers Properties...

46:10...and I will go to that Advanced button and there is a rotation option over here...

46:19...and I will select the field that had the orientation angle.

46:22In this case, the field's name was Angle. So I click OK, and OK.

46:29So now, we have the cars with the proper symbol and proper orientation.

46:35So this way, you can assign out-of-the-box 3D symbology to create realistic-looking views of your document.

46:46So now, I'm going to turn on two layers that have the proper symbology and proper orientation.

46:56So here we have some point features which are being symbolized as streetlamps.

47:05So they're being symbolized with the proper symbology and also with the proper orientation.

47:10I have another layer here, which is the Multipatch layer and this contains some 3D realistic models...

47:19...that are actually COLLADA models that I have gotten from that 3D Warehouse.

47:25As you can see, this gives a better and realistic view of your data.

47:39Next, we're going to be looking at graphics.

47:45So, if you right-click on an empty area next to the toolbars, like here...

47:53...you can select the Globe 3D Graphics toolbar, which is not visible by default.

48:02So I can digitize a graphic by using the options over here.

48:07I can create a point, line, polygon, or text graphic.

48:13So I'm going to create a point graphic of a rail crossing signal right here.

48:20So it's being symbolized with the default Point Graphic symbol.

48:26So I place the graphic and I can select the graphic and right-click to the...to change its symbol properties.

48:38So I already have my 3D street furniture style and I'm looking for a rail crossing sign.

48:45So I can manually look for a sign or, new in ArcGIS 10...

48:49...I can now type in for a quick search, the name or keywords related to the symbol.

48:55So I'm going to type and search the word "railway."

49:05So now these are the symbols related to the word "railway."

49:08So the ones that I’m, I'm using now will be that Railway Crossing Lights.

49:14So I will select the symbol, maybe give it a size of 8, and click OK, and OK.

49:24So there you go.

49:27Now we have a, the street signal over here, which is actually a point graphic.

49:32But as you can see, it does not have the proper orientation.

49:38So one way to change this is to go back to its properties and type in a value.

49:43But I have a custom tool to interactively rotate the graphic.

49:46So here's my tool.

49:49Now I'll click on it, click on the graphic, and I'll interactively rotate the graphic, let's say about there looks okay.

50:02So the reason I showed you this is because I got this tool from the EDN Esri Developer's Network Web site...

50:10...and there might be functionality that may not be provided to you out of the box...

50:15...but there's custom functionality available to you as a developer sample.

50:19So you can go to that EDN Web site, download it, and use it in your own work.

50:24Feel free to explore the EDN Web site and look for developer samples over there.

50:33So now, we will be looking at 3D editing.

50:38So I'm going to zoom into the baseball park area...

50:45...and I'm going to give you a simple example of how to use 3D Editor in ArcGlobe using multipatch feature.

50:54So, new in ArcGIS 10, you can now edit 3D points, lines, polygons, and multipatches from ArcGlobe and ArcScene applications.

51:06So, note that there is no polygon footprint or any other feature representing the baseball park.

51:13So if I right-click on an empty area next to the Tools toolbar, like here...

51:21...you can select the 3D Editor toolbar, which is not visible by default.

51:28So now, let's say that there is no baseball park here or that the city is designing a new baseball park...

51:35...and they want to now how the new baseball park would look like on this area.

51:40Also, let's say that the engineering company that they're working with...

51:43...provided them with a 3D model of the new design for the baseball park.

51:48We support a number of model formats such as SketchUp, 3ds Max, et cetera.

51:53In this case, I have a 3D realistic model that I have acquired from the 3D Warehouse Web site as a COLLADA file.

52:00But you can create your own models and use it on ArcScene and ArcGlobe.

52:07So I will begin by accessing that 3D Editor toolbar and clicking on Start Editing.

52:16So the 3D editing also uses the new template-based editing environment similar to ArcMap.

52:23The template features will be created automatically for you according to the layer symbology.

52:29So in this case, we are going to use that existing multipatch feature, which has the buildings textures to add another feature...

52:37...so in this case, the baseball park model that the engineering company has provided us with.

52:43I will first click on the buildings textures template, and then use that Insert tool from the Construction tools below.

52:55Notice that each feature class has its own construction tool such as polygon, point, et cetera.

53:01So if I click on Polygons, you will see that Construction tools changes.

53:06So now, I can create a polygon using the ellipse, rectangle, circle, specified to, specifically to the polygon layer.

53:19So, in this case, we're using the Insert tool from the multipatch feature.

53:26So now, I'll place the cursor to the location that the baseball park will be constructed, and make a left-mouse click.

53:36Now I will browse to that location and select the model that you will be using.

53:41In this case, I'll be using that PETCO Park model and click Open.

53:48Now the 3D model symbolizing the baseball park has been placed on the new or ex-, existing construction site.

54:01Now, using the Edit Placement tool on the 3D Editor toolbar...

54:06...you can interactively move, rotate, and scale the features until you are satisfied with the location.

54:13So now, I'll click on that Edit Placement tool...

54:19...and I can move the feature.

54:25I can rotate the feature.

54:33I can scale the feature.

54:40And also, I can move the feature on its Z value.

54:54You can also type in the value of the move, rotate, and scale for more precise edits.

55:00And there's other functionality available on the 3D Editor, such as Duplicate Vertical, Replace with Model...

55:08...and other functions similar to the ArcMap editing environment.

55:14So when you're done editing, simply save your edits and click on Stop Editing.

55:28So this was a simple scenario of how to use 3D editing on a new or existing development using multipatches.

55:37There are a number of tools and 3D functions that you can use on the 3D editing...

55:43...including the functionality of using classic snapping.

55:51So now, I will show you an example of how to use a 3D Analyst geoprocessing tool.

55:593D Analyst contains a number of 3D-specialized geoprocessing tools...

56:03...which can help you in the construction and analysis of your 3D project.

56:08So to give you an example, and continuing with this San Diego 3D view scenario...

56:13...let's say that the new proposed baseball park that was just developed, has caused a good impact on tourism.

56:20And some hotels in the downtown area want to advertise some of their rooms with a view to the baseball park.

56:27They would like to know what rooms may have views to the baseball park area.

56:31So I have created two points located at two different hotels in different levels called Viewpoints...

56:41...which are located right here, symbolized with two yellow points.

56:53And I also created a target point located at the center of the new proposed baseball park...

57:02...symbolized as that blue flag right here.

57:09So now I will access my toolbox by using the ArcToolbox window, which is right here.

57:17And here I have my applications toolboxes and I'm clicking on that 3D Analyst toolbox...

57:25...and here are the toolsets that are being logically grouped depending on the tool's functionality.

57:31So I'm looking for the Construct Sight Line tool, which is under the 3D Features, and right here on that Construct Sight Lines.

57:44So here's the tool, and now I will select my several points, which were the point features...

57:51...which I already created to represent the different hotel rooms at different levels, which I named Viewpoints.

58:01Now the target features are the next feature that you will type in here...

58:07...and are the points that I have already created in the middle of the baseball park called Target Points.

58:17Now, I will then select and name my new output line feature, which is ac-, which is called Views of Baseball Park.

58:40Click on Save.

58:42Now I will also leave all this default content as it is.

58:47I'll click OK...to run the tool.

58:53And now a line has been created from the targeted points to the viewpoints.

59:03So I have now created line of sight from the point features representing two different hotel rooms...

59:10...in two different levels that have views to the baseball park.

59:14I can also change the symbology of the line to be thicker, maybe a size of 5, no, so, maybe another color.

59:27There.

59:28So now you can see from that target point to the two hotels...

59:37...which one has better view of the baseball park.

59:41So from this hotel, you can't actually see the field.

59:46From this hotel, you can really see it.

59:50So it's just a simple example, so using a specialized 3D Analyst tool in your 3D projects.

1:00:00So as my last step for this demo, I will show you how to create a quick 3D animation flyby out of your current 3D view.

1:00:09So in order to create animation, you will bring up the Animation toolbar...

1:00:17...and here, we have the Animation toolbar and we have a Capture View button...

1:00:25...and this camera, this button over here, when you click on this camer-, capture the cap, the, sorry.

1:00:32When you click on this button, you will capture the current view and create a keyframe of the follow views.

1:00:39So depending on your point of interest, you can capture different type of views for animations...

1:00:46...by pointing to a more general or specific points that you desire.

1:00:51So if I click on this button, I have captured this view as part of my keyframes.

1:00:58So I'm going to move to other locations, and each time that I want to include that particular view...

1:01:07...I will click on the button Capture View to create an animation out of those particular areas that I'm clicking.

1:01:19Let's say I want to include the new baseball park.

1:01:28So now, you have created the keyframes and when you run the animation...

1:01:31...the software will automatically interpolate between those keyframes and you will get a smooth animation affect.

1:01:38So let's play this animation and for presentation purposes you can change your current screens to full-screen mode.

1:01:46So you will go, you don't get the toolbars, and you would just go to full screen.

1:01:54So you can do that by pressing the F11 key.

1:02:01So now, we're in full-screen mode.

1:02:03So you can also change the duration of the animation by going to the Open Animation Controls, and here is an option.

1:02:15And let's say we're going to give it 30 seconds.

1:02:21Now, then I would just click Play.

1:02:27So this way, you create a smooth animation out of your capture views.

1:02:35So this concludes the end of my demo presentation and the end of this technical workshop for An Introduction to 3D Analyst.

1:02:43If you want to know more information on 3D Analyst or if you want to talk with us directly...

1:02:48...please feel free to stop by the 3D Analyst booth located in the Showcase Software Island in the Mapping and Visualization area.

1:02:56Once again, thank you for coming, and now we will take some general questions.

1:03:06Yes sir?

1:03:08[Audience question] Is the functionality the same across all license levels?

1:03:13Yes. The 3D editing, I guess, means, is the functionality for 2D editing different across the license?

1:03:23I guess it would be the same...it would follow that pattern.

1:03:30Yes?

1:03:32[Audience question] The potential in ArcScene, that it supports stereo viewing...

1:03:37Yes.

1:03:38[Audience question] Does that provide, is that like similar, analytical abilities as studio imagery and analysis like in [inaudible] memory?

1:03:50I'm, I'm not an expert in stereo viewing, but it means you have like red, blue and anaglyph mode and there're a couple of viewing options.

1:04:00As far as analytical abilities, I don't think there are any. So, but you can look into the Desktop Help for that.

1:04:07Or maybe if you want to drop by the island area, then I can get you in touch with someone who's more familiar with stereo viewing.

1:04:16Yes?

1:04:18[Audience question] 3D symbology for graphic elements. Is that only supported in Arc[GIS] 10?

1:04:23Is that only supported in what?

1:04:25Arc[GIS] 10.

1:04:26[Audience question] Arc[GIS] 10.

1:04:27No. No, it's been there for a couple of releases now.

1:04:31[Audience question] Okay.

1:04:32Yeah.

1:04:35Any more questions?

1:04:38Yes?

1:04:39[Audience question] How do you symbolize, or how would you symbolize information from a portal?

1:04:47What kind of information do you have?

1:04:49[Audience question] All kinds. I have lithology, I have water quality data on verticals. I have chemistry data on verticals...

1:04:57So you're basically talking about textural information?

1:05:01[Audience question] Correct. Stuff that might be included in a spreadsheet...

1:05:04...and at each elevation, at various elevations you have different values for a parameter...

1:05:11...and you want to visualize that and kept, say, 20 or 30 holes in a region.

1:05:17You want to see how they relate in a, in the big picture.

1:05:27Well, as far as the textural information is concerned...

1:05:32...it means you can symbolize using the models for the borehole, boreholes.

1:05:35Or it means if there are any, I don't know if there are going to be any physical connections between the boreholes?

1:05:42[Audience question] For each well, each hole, there's a discreet point....

1:05:46Okay.

1:05:47[Audience question] ...that might have vertical information. But I want to now, see I want to draw lines between similar [inaudible] and great.

1:05:54[Audience question] I want to see what the geology is in the whole region by connecting the similar information from the boreholes.

1:06:00So for the boreholes, would extrusion be helpful for that?

1:06:04It means, would you, for example you have, you only have point, point data for your boreholes.

1:06:09So would you, would the boreholes have any depth information as well?

1:06:13[Audience question] Oh yeah. They have...

1:06:14So you could extrude those boreholes with depth information, [inaudible], like give it...

1:06:21[Audience question] But, if I, if that's information, I go from 0 to 10, one type of rock, from 10 to 20, another type of rock. It varies with depth.

1:06:33Um hmm.

1:06:34[Inaudible audience question]

1:06:37Well, I guess I'll have to look at your data to give you a more specific answer.

1:06:43So maybe if you can stop by the island and we can take a look at your data over there and see how we can symbolize it.

1:06:51[Audience question] Okay.

1:06:54Yes?

1:06:55[Inaudible audience question]

1:07:16So, the question is to create a number of sight lines, correct?

1:07:21[Inaudible audience question]

1:07:24Yes, the particular tool that I was using, it's just construct sight lines between two particular points.

1:07:32There's other tools in the ArcToolbox that are specialized to creating sight lines that impact with building and structures.

1:07:42So the particular feature, the tool that I was using...

1:07:45...it was more specialized to creating a simple straight line between a targeted point and a viewpoint. So.

1:07:56[Inaudible audience question]

1:07:59It's a, when you deal with the line of sight analysis there, does the, a point symbolized by a 3D symbol...

1:08:06...does that affect the line of sight or does it have to be multipatched to [inaudible] line of sight?

1:08:14It has to be a multipatch, means, to affect that.

1:08:21Yes ma'am.

1:08:22[Audience question] Can I take a street view or head-on photograph and drape that onto the [inaudible]?

1:08:32No, you cannot. So you, so, so your question is whether you can texture the buildings inside.

1:08:38Means you want to put textures on your multipatch features. Is that the question?

1:08:44No, you cannot do that.

1:08:50Yes please.

1:08:51[Audience question] In your demo, how did you create texture for the two hotels and the convention center?

1:09:01So, all right, so those, the hotel and the convention center, those were 3D models, textured 3D models...

1:09:11...which were, means, imported from the 3D Warehouse.

1:09:16So the 3D Warehouse is a Web site where you can find a number of 3D models.

1:09:23So these were in the COLLADA format, so those were import...

1:09:26Means I just downloaded those and then imported those as multipatch features inside a feature class.

1:09:34So the model's already existed as third-party models, and we just imported those into our, into the multipatch format.

1:09:42[Inaudible audience question]

1:09:44Excuse me? Sir.

1:09:45[Inaudible audience question]

1:09:50Yeah.

1:09:51There's many softwares out there that are free downloads.

1:09:54To mention one, would be the SketchUp from Google...

1:09:58...and there's a number of models that are free also on the 3D Warehouse...

1:10:01...and there's a number of models that you can use...

1:10:04...and just create them yourself also and put it in the SketchUp environment...

1:10:11...and then you can just bring it to your ArcGlobe and ArcScene environment, so...

1:10:17But remember that these are mo-, 3D realistic models.

1:10:20So they were only be displayed in ArcScene and ArcGlobe with the textures.

1:10:24So ArcMap, you will see just, all the, vertices of the multipatch will be places, so.

1:10:34Yes.

1:10:36[Audience question] So, line of sight, you know your target.

1:10:40Are your viewpoints, they're like at the top of the buildings or anything?

1:10:44Did you assign, did you assign a z value already, or...?

1:10:50So the question is, if the points that are being used as the viewpoints for the line of sight, if I assign some z values to it?

1:11:00[Inaudible audience question] Correct. Shouldn't [inaudible] at the top already?

1:11:01Yep.

1:11:02[Inaudible audience question]

1:11:09Yes, I used, I used the placement of the 3D Editor to just create a point feature and just place it...

1:11:17...the location that I would think will be appropriate in terms of like the height.

1:11:21So you can just click on the z val...you can just place that using the z value that you would like.

1:11:27But also, on that tool, there's other options that I left off default...

1:11:32...but those other options will also ask you for...

1:11:35...if have your height already in a field or if you want to put a offset to that particular point.

1:11:42So there's other functionality that I can give.

1:11:44I just used that one just to place any map on a particular hotel, just to give a quick example of...

1:11:50...how to use that.

1:11:51So it was a 3D point, so it already had z in its geometry.

1:11:59Yes please.

1:12:00[Inaudible audience question]

1:12:12Yes.

1:12:14Yes, correct. I only showed that one...

1:12:17So this particular tool was just creating like a 3D line between two points.

1:12:22So you could get more complex than that using other tools.

1:12:31Any other questions?

1:12:34All right, thank you very much.

1:12:40Thank you.
