ArcView 3D Analyst software provides tools for three-dimensionalmodeling and analysis. You can create, analyze, and display surfacedata and other three-dimensional data. You already use maps to examinethe spatial relationships in your data—now see the effect thatmountains, valleys, building profiles, and other three-dimensionalobjects have on these relationships.

With ArcView 3D Analyst, you can:

• Generate three-dimensional contours.
• Integrate data from computer-aided design (CAD).
• Perform statistical analysis in three dimensions.
• Create density surfaces from attribute data.
• Perform line-of-sight analysis and create three-dimensional visibility maps.
• Work with most common data formats.
• Build true three-dimensional surface models from any point data source (including GPS).
• Model real-world surface features, such as buildings as well assubsurface features like wells, mines, groundwater, and undergroundstorage facilities.
• Drape two-dimensional features or image data on three-dimensionalsurfaces and have complete access to tabular data via interactive query.
