Feature to 3D

Question

Hello,

I used to use the convert Feature to 3D tool under 3D Analyst toolbar in ArcGIS 9.3, now i'm using ArcGIS 10 and i cannot find any of the sub-menus used to be under the 3D Analyst toolbar except the option menu.

Any thoughts how can i find those menus in ArcGIS 10

Hello everyone.

I have ArcMap 10.0 with the Stereo Analysis extension which allowed me to convert a 2D shp file to 3D.

For its conversion, it asked me to enter the TIN of the study area, and it was a success.

Now I need to do the same in ArcGIS Pro 3.2, but I can't find that tool, and I get others that I've never used.

The same ones that ask me for data that I don't have, for example: by attribute, it asks me to enter height fields to calculate, but I don't have that information in my GDB, like the other tool.

Maybe you could help me solve this problem on how to do it in ArcGIS Pro.

Kind regards.

It took me a couple hours to solve this and the reason is the morons at esri hid this tool.  The tool is still there you just have to find it!  You have to go to customize and search through the 3d analyst tools, then drag and drop it into your menu bar.  why esri chose to hide this, probably the most useful tool in 3d analyst, I'll never know.  but this is typical of esri;  I rant, but this pissed me off!
