topic View shed with 3D objects in ArcGIS Pro Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/view-shed-with-3d-objects/m-p/1389632#M79629 <P>I'm trying to create a viewshed for 3D features that will be constructed on a hillside.&nbsp; I have created a viewshed from 5 observation points but I need it to take into account the several hundred 3D polygons that I have extruded to a 20' height. I need the viewshed to include these features and not just the DEM that is under the 3D polygons.&nbsp; Is there a way to add the 3d polygons to the DEM raster, or another tool I can use that will take the 3D features into account with the DEM?&nbsp; I've also used the 3D viewshed exploratory tool, but need a layer created to show what structures will be visible from the observation point on a map.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Fri, 01 Mar 2024 19:06:26 GMT JoshWilhelm 2024-03-01T19:06:26Z View shed with 3D objects https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/view-shed-with-3d-objects/m-p/1389632#M79629 <P>I'm trying to create a viewshed for 3D features that will be constructed on a hillside.&nbsp; I have created a viewshed from 5 observation points but I need it to take into account the several hundred 3D polygons that I have extruded to a 20' height.
