Hello,

I am working with a 2D building footprints feature class, which contains a height attribute. I would like to create 3D extrusions from a given angle, but export them for use in a 2D map viewer, similar to classic Google Maps - you have a sense of the third dimension of each building footprint. I've attached a photo from Google Maps of the particular effect I'm going for. Is this possible in ArcMap/ArcScene? I've seen a YouTube tutorial that uses symbology as representation to create a drop shadow effect but I was looking for something slightly more real-looking.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure I've come across a 3D building style reference. That may be worth checking out.
