Performing viewshed analysys like in Google Earth

JaimeGonzalez1

Hi all

I am new to ArcGIS Pro. I was wondering if I can perform a viewshed analysys like one can do in Google Earth, i.e. by selecting a point on the basemap manually and clicking on some sort of 'perform viewshed' button.

From what I've seen so far on the app, in order to perform a viewshed I have to input databases and do all sorts of little things I don't yet understand, but I imagine there must be a simpler way.

Thanks for your time

Jaime

I think you can do this in a Scene - Exploratory analysis tools—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Hi David

That seems to be what I'm looking for, but when I click on the 'Exploratory 3D Analysis' button in the 'Analysis' pane, I only get the 'Object Detection' option, but not the 'line of sight' or 'view dome' options.

Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks for your time

have you got an elevation source added in your Scene or 2D map?

I do not. Do you know how I can do that? My ultimate goal is to perform a viewshed analysis of a large area in Asturias, Spain. I would use Google Earth but it only allows for one observer.
