I've attached a layer package with the required data.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Any help would be much appreciated as I am very new the the 3rd dimension!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 07 Mar 2014 02:55:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/stumped-on-how-to-create-a-simple-3d-model-of-a/m-p/228971#M1391 WilliamSands 2014-03-07T02:55:52Z Re: Stumped on how to create a simple 3D model of a levee https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/stumped-on-how-to-create-a-simple-3d-model-of-a/m-p/228972#M1392 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Original User: jbswain</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You will need a polygon outside of the data to constrain it to the area that you are using.&nbsp; I drew a rudimentary one and then set it as a soft clip when creating the TIN.&nbsp; Also it looks as though your channel points are matched to the crest points.&nbsp; This seems to be what is causing the levee to look odd to me.&nbsp; Unless you are simply going to use the lines. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]32008[/ATTACH]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]32009[/ATTACH]</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:13:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/stumped-on-how-to-create-a-simple-3d-model-of-a/m-p/228972#M1392 Anonymous User 2014-03-07T11:13:24Z
