I have a polyline 3d feature which I want to trace to create some polygons.
Why the z coordinate is not traced (snapping is ON)? Is this not yet available?
It seems you have some steps
Create segments by tracing other features—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
Specify an elevation for 3D features—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
but I suspect for polygon output, you have the option of assigning 1 Z value
I do not want to specify elevation. I would like it is fetched from the traced object, but it is set to 0.
By default, z-values are applied to new features in the following ways:
- In maps, the default z-value is set to zero (0).
- In scenes, z-values are derived from the active elevation surface when you click the scene.
I do not agree. In maps, with Z-mode off and snapping on, the behaviour is as follows:
new features fetch the elevation (if available) from snapped feature
Ivano,
As you suspected, this is not available yet in Pro. When tracing features with the elevation mode off, the resulting segment z values are 0. We'll work on it after 2.3
This would be a great improvment in 3D editing.
News about creating 3D polygons by tracing 3D polylines?
No progress for 2.4, still on the list.
Hi Sean, I am working on ArcGIS Pro 2.5, and unfortunately the 'trace' tool is not maintaining the 'Z' values of the traced object. Is this something with Pro or am I missing something. Thanks
