ArcGIS Scene

ArcScene is a 3D visualization application that allows you to view your GIS data in three dimensions.

Introducing ArcScene

ArcScene is a 3D visualization application that is part of Esri’s ArcGIS application. ArcGIS Scene most applicable to analyze complex 3D line symbology, texture mapping, ground depth, as well as surface creation and display of TINs.

Key Features of ArcScene:

• 3D Visualization
  • Displays 2D and 3D GIS data in a 3D environment.
  • Works well with raster, vector, and TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) datasets.
• Elevation and Extrusion
  • Apply elevation surfaces (like DEMs).
  • Extrude features like buildings based on attribute values (e.g., height).
• Scene Layers
  • Combine layers like terrain, satellite imagery, and vector data in a 3D scene.
• Navigation Tools
  • Easy zoom, pan, rotate, and fly-through tools for exploring the 3D scene.
• Symbology & Animation
  • Customize symbology for better visualization.
  • Animate objects or camera paths through a scene.
• Analysis Tools
