I am a total newbie when it comes to ArchMap and GIS in general. I am a 3D visualization artist looking for a way to utilize ArchMap to export DEM data to a usable 3D surface for use in 3DS Max. In the past I have used a program called Global Mapper to do this. Global Mapper has the ability to export what is called a .dxf 3D face file. The .dxf 3d face file is composed of 4 sided polygonal mesh as opposed to a TIN file. This type of surface is preferred due to the cleaner more editable nature of the mesh. Attached is a .pdf that describes the process I use in Global Mapper. Is there a similar process that I can use in ArchMap that will produce similar results? I am using ArchMap 10.5.1 and have access to 3D Analyst license. Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian
