How to process a .bil raster file into a 3d model which CityEngine and ArcPro could read?
Sorry for not making my question clear Dan, here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to construct a 3D model of the ancient city of Hesban (or Hisban) in Jordan using ESRI CityEngine. To start the project, I purchased a 10 meter DEM from Harris which came in a .bil file format, .hdr and .prj. I am aware that CityEngine will not accept a .bil format in to the 3D viewer without formatting it first into an acceptable format. Therefore, I used the Raster To Other Format Conversion tool in ArcMap to reformat the DEM. But I knew reformatting the DEM would not render DEM into 3D, nevertheless, I imported the new formatted (Tiff) DEM into my Map folder in CityEngine and click and dragged it into the 3D Viewer. Just as I suspected, CityEngine was not able to render the raster into 3D correctly (see the image below).
The .bil DEM and the location which it references could be seen in the image below.
Basically, I am trying to find out how to process the DEM in order to have the z values be rendered in 3D. I am assuming I need to have that done first before I could bring it into CityEngine, please correct me if I am wrong. Does ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro have the capability to help process the DEM into 3D and if so How? I really appreciate the help.
