3D Simbology - ArcGIS Pro

GabrielYarlequé

Hi,

I hope everybody is doing well. I need some help. I have a shapefile for buildings and the number of floors they have. I have already extruded them based on the number of floors. Do you guys know how can I change the appearance of those buildings so they look real. What I want to do is use google streetview pictures and somehow use them as simbology for my polygons and change their appearance. Is this possible]? The polygons I have are not multipatch features and I dont know how to create those either. Can this be done in ArcGIS Pro? I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts about this.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Gabriel,

You can use procedural symbols in ArcGIS Pro for creating 3D-symbols/realistic-buildings for your polygon features. Procedural symbols are created from a Esri CityEngine rule package file (.rpk).

The rules have to be authored in CityEngine and then can be exported out as rule packages for consumption in Pro. So if you want to create a very specific type of symbol then you will need to author that rule in CityEngine.

However, there are already a number of rule packages that are available to use. You can search for these here and maybe one of these will satisfy your requirements - http://www.arcgis.com/home/search.html?q=rule%20package&t=content&start=1

Additionally, you can also look at the Procedural Symbols style in ArcGIS Pro - there are a couple of symbols available there. Just add the style to your Pro project and pick a procedural symbol from the Gallery. Please take a look at Pro help for more information: Procedural symbol layers—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Desktop

Procedural symbols are highly configurable. All the symbol properties (also known as attributes) exposed by the rule can be configured in Pro. You can map the symbol properties to your feature class attributes. So for example, if a rule extrudes building footprints then you can map the 'extrusion height' symbol property to your feature class field that has height information. Now all features will be extruded to different heights based on their height field values.

thanks a lot for the detailed info and links provided. I am new to City engine, so I have already started with the tutorials.
