I would like to create 3D extrusions from a given angle, but export them for use in a 2D map viewer, similar to classic Google Maps - you have a sense of the third dimension of each building footprint. I've attached a photo from Google Maps of the particular effect I'm going for. Is this possible in ArcMap/ArcScene? I've seen a YouTube tutorial that uses symbology as representation to create a drop shadow effect but I was looking for something slightly more real-looking.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]33015[/ATTACH]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jimmy</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:42:33 GMT JamesMcBroom1 2014-04-10T14:42:33Z Creating a 3-D model in a 2-D viewer.
