Hello all,
I’m relatively new to ArcGIS pro, and have been struggling with a particular analysis. In short, I need a way to save building shadows generated from the illumination settings in a scene layer (using absolute sun position at a specific az/el) as a saved layer that I can export as either a shape file or convert it to a kmz. I’ve tried using the view shed tool to set an observer high in the sky at a similar angle as the sun, and I’ve tried the sun volume tool, but that can only be used for time of day and not a specific az/el. neither of these options produced a particularly favorable result.
is there any way to save off shadows produced from 3d buildings and illumination as a layer? Or possibly classify shadows using a pixel color detection and save that as a layer? Or, lastly, does anyone know of a custom tool that will allow this type of analysis.
Thanks in advance.
