topic display 3d soil sample data? in 3D Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/display-3d-soil-sample-data/m-p/711669#M4269 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. arcview with 3d extension</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. aerial and DEM of area</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. point shapefile with XY, elevations, depths, concentrations. For each depth i'm keeping Z=elevation. But i think it should be z=elevation - depth to show distinct points for each sample.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What i need is similar to the tutorial exercise 2 i believe. We took soil samples at different depths at the same location throughout the area. I want to be able to display the concentration values at the different depths. For instance some locations have high levels near surface (-1ft) and some have high levels further (-6ft).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>In the example they show 3d mountain like views for elevation and then draped the concentration plume on top. I cant figure out how to do this. The furthest i got is creating peaks for the concentrations using the feature to 3d and IDW tools (exercise 4 i believe) and then extruding the point file to show bars as depths.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is it possible to create the same thing as tutorial because i'm out of ideas?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:31:53 GMT C_J_Roebuck 2011-06-24T15:31:53Z display 3d soil sample data? https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/display-3d-soil-sample-data/m-p/711669#M4269 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. arcview with 3d extension</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. aerial and DEM of area</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. point shapefile with XY, elevations, depths, concentrations.

If it is multiple, you could generate surfaces for different depths, so you would have a excel sheet for 1ft and add all you data across the field. You can then import these and perform kriging from the geostatistical analysis and it will generate a surface showing your changes in concentration across you sample area. I can explain this in more detail if it would be useful?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:50:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/display-3d-soil-sample-data/m-p/711670#M4270 DewiJones 2011-06-29T08:50:34Z
