I tried creating a 3D Feature class in Arc Catalog and while editing (drawing my sloped walls) I was snapping to 3D Polylines.&nbsp; I figured if it was snapping, the z values would translate.&nbsp; They didn't, the new shape only snaps to x,y coordinates. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Any Suggestions?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:08:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/digitizing-3d-features-with-sloped-walls/m-p/694675#M4157 StevenFernandez 2011-09-26T19:08:34Z Re: Digitizing 3D Features with Sloped Walls https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/digitizing-3d-features-with-sloped-walls/m-p/694676#M4158 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Have you considered a 3D drawing programs such as sketchup? 3D Analyst is a poor tool for this type of work. 3D DXF import quite well into ArcScene so i guess you could use 3D capable AutoCAD or any other drafting program that can output 3D DXF.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:22:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/digitizing-3d-features-with-sloped-walls/m-p/694676#M4158 JakubSisak 2011-09-27T01:22:37Z
