I placed each point by hand, guessing on spacing, in x,y space. Then I symbolized by the letter field with a 3D character marker symbol of the letter and rotated each one along the Y axis.</P><P></P><P>Then with the depth field I used that as the base height expression for the z space.</P><P></P><P>Hope that helps.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Apr 2016 19:12:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-mapping-questions/how-do-i-drape-a-surface-on-custom-data-rather/m-p/701021#M7 JayHill 2016-04-20T19:12:21Z
