ArcGIS Earth – ArcGlobe

What is ArcGIS Earth?

The ArcGIS Earth is a free and easy-to-use application, to visualize, and evaluate events, using 3D data on the Globe. It’s Provided 3D models, Edit KML, and Share maps.

Features:

  • Explore on the Globe
  • Visualize and edit a variety of data types.
  • Measure 3D models, shapes, and distances
  • Perform line-of-sight and view-shed analyses.
  • Create elevation profiles, Style with symbology.
  • Sketch, annotate, save, and share KML and KMZ files.
  • Edit KML data
  • Operate in connected and disconnected environments

Benefits:

  • Access data from local files, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, and web services
  • 3D Visualization and Analysis- View-shed, and Elevation
  • Visualize 3D data via Mobile Scene Packages. and save and share your KML files with collaborators
  • Add a variety of data files- like KML, KMZ, and TXT- and 3D models as well as image; map feature

Add map layers from files and ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, then pan, zoom, and tilt to view them, and you’ll share your map data via Email.

ArcGlobe Desktop

A ArcGlobe service provides access to a 3D view of a globe, to create a globe service. Once you create the service, supported clients such as ArcGlobe, ArcGIS Explorer, and ArcReader will be able to access the globe service remotely.

If you have already, install ArcGIS 3D extension, that is ArcGlobe, run and open it. Now you are ready to work with layers in ArcGlobe.

In ArcGlobe, you can view vector data as raster. Rasterizing feature layers in Arc-Globe allows you to maintain any cartographic symbology that you might have saved in ArcMap.

ArcGlobe Features

  • Display multi-resolution image and terrain data
  • Support vector data (e.g., points, lines, polygons, and 3D objects)
  • Convert two-dimensional representations to 3D on the fly

Rasterize a Feature Layer in ArcGlobe

  1. Right-click the feature layer in the table of contents and click Properties.
  2. Click the Globe Display tab.
  3. Check the Rasterize feature layer option.
  4. Specify the real-world size of a symbol point unit. (If the Scale 3D symbols with distance option is checked, symbols maintain the same size in relation to the globe. If not, the symbols will maintain the same pixel size, regardless of the distance to the camera.)
  5. Click OK.
