Create terrain effect over shapefile polygon in ArcMap 10.4

SlobodanKomatina2 — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 23:16:33 GMT

I have a Digital Elevation Model and polygon shapefile and I want to make an effect that polygons follow terrain structure according to DEM. If I just overlay it over DEM the polygon will be flat. I know how to do that in ArcScene, but I want to do that in ArcMap and not sure how. I have tried with Window\Image Analysis but without success.

I have attached one example from Google Maps where forest polygon follows terrain structure.

Hi Slobodan Komatina‌

I suggest the following for the polygons:

You can create a Tin again, add the polygon layer and add the shape containing the contours, in this shape, specify the column containing the elevations. After that configure the views of the polygons.

I leave you the captures as an example:
