Hi all,
This is the first time I post here....I found a lot of help from these forums, so I'm surprised took me this long to be a member.
I modeled a debris flow (landslide) in a software --> made ASCII files of the time steps (150) of the height of the moving flow --> exported all 150 ASCIIs to ESRI grid (rasters). Now what I basically want to do is to create an animation in ArcScene, showing on a 3D hillshaded DEM how the flow is moving in time.
I opened ArcScene and made a nice 3D projection of my DEM and the hill shade....now my problem is that when I add my raster maps of the debris flow...I have to set for each raster map the base height separately to project them on top of the DEM. Even when I add all 150 maps into a group layer and change the base height of the group layer the maps inside the group layer do not change base heights!! (what is the purpose of being able to change base heights of a group layer if it doesn't even work??)
Remember these are separate raster files that show the change of a flow...therefore I cannot add them into a single raster map.
But I'm very disappointed that its not possible to set a group of rasters or different shapefiles to a base height in single batch command. Once I have all 150 maps projecting on top of my DEM I can then easily make the animation of the flow.
So does anyone have a suggestion how to shift all my raster maps on top of my 3D DEM without manually changing base height for each of the 150 maps ?
Another question...but this is just something extra:
Is there a possibility to visually extrude the height of my individual RASTER maps of the flow on top of my 3D DEM, similar to extruding shapefiles on top of a DEM ??
Sorry for the long post...Thanks for your time
