Thanks.

Thanks for a very quick response.

My interest is to extract a 3D Surface of a chosen polygon. Is that possible?

If it isn't listed in the link, then it is not possible.  You need a full DEM and ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro for those types of things.  Earth is not designed for the heavy lifting.

You need a DEM.  You will have to source that yourself.  Many governments provide suitable data for free.  Dr Google is your best guide.

This link will provide you with an overview 3D GIS | ArcGIS for Desktop but any of this assumes some familiarity with ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro.  If you have the skills and the data, then it is a realitively simple task.
