3D Models

[RuiPlácido]

Hi,

I'm new member in this forum and need help for use da 3d analyst.
It's possible in Arcgis 10 use directly 3D city models that can be loaded directly into ArcGIS?

I read in ESRI that option is possible.How?

"Easy Access to Existing 3D Data

The Web is rich with GIS data that can be accessed and used immediately. ArcGIS Online is a great place to access basemaps, imagery, elevations, and demographic maps for creating your 3D views. Esri CityEngine and Esri partners such as Pictometry, Blom, TeleAtlas, and VirtualCity provide ready-made 3D city models that can be loaded directly into ArcGIS"

This was read.

Hi,

I have 3D models building's in ARCSene and I need use this building to do solar Analyst. My 3d Models are in Multipatch and i need conversion to raster, used this analyse.
It´s possible?

Rui,

I assume you have a DEM for your solar analysis.   You need to burn the buildings into the DEM.  Here is a tool to download to do it.

Add Buildings into DEM

The tool that Eric is mentioning will use the Multipatch and then, 'burn' in or add to the DEM you have.  The 'archive multipatches' you are referrring to are .dae? Or .skp?  If so you should convert them back into Multipatches in a geodatabase, prior to burning into the .dem.  You can still use the original DEM in your solar analysis, once the buildings have been added to it.

how do that "If so you should convert them back into Multipatches in a geodatabase"?

[RuiPlácido]

My multipatch is .dae

[JeffreySwain]

Import 3d Files is the tool that you will need to create either a shapefile multipatch or feature class multipatch in a geodatabase.

How I obtain this tool?

I need to burn multipatches into a DEM. The tool mentioned here:

http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/java/details?entryID=2929E846-1422-2418-A0DD-16627D87B471

is not accessible (Error 502). Would be glad if someone could help me out...

Furtheron, I'm confused were Arcscripts went to. It says ArcScripts was moved to Code Galleries, but there are no active Code Galleries on the Ressource Center. So I registered with ArcGIS Online, and I don't find any python scripts or tools there. Where did the valuable idea of sharing code with others go?

Thanks,

Kathrin
