What are the 3D Tools for Power lines? The 3D Tools for Power lines solution is a collection of ArcGIS Pro tools that simplifies and automates the process of creating 3D visualizations of transmission and distribution lines. The results can be published and visualized in a 3D scene which can be easily shared with stakeholders or the public.   Benefits The following are some benefits of using 3D Tools for Power lines: Visualize existing power lines in 3D and add them to your 3D basemap to serve as a foundation for creating 3D applications and workflows. Visualize proposed power lines in 3D and assess the visual impact on the surrounding landscape. Supports both transmission and distribution lines Works with existing GIS data as input. Creates realistic 3D representations of conductor and tower structures Supports a wide variety of conductor and tower configurations Austin Power line scene Get started with 3D Tools for Power lines Download the 3D Tools for Power lines ArcGIS Pro project. Read the current limitations in the description.  Extract the zip file to a folder on your machine. Open the 3DToolsForPowerLines.aprx in ArcGIS Pro. In the Catalog pane, expand the Tasks folder, then double-click on the Create 3D Power Lines task Use the Create 3D Power Lines task to step through the workflow. System requirements The following software is required: ArcGIS Pro 2.3 - 2.4 (Advanced) ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension Note: you might need to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine driver if you encounter a TableToTable error.

What is the Flood Impact Analysis solution? The Flood Impact Analysis solution can be used to develop flooding scenarios and visualize the impact on the existing landscape. It leverages flood depth data to analyze the impact of flood events on critical assets such as buildings, bridges, low water crossings and roads.  It also can be used to create compelling 3D visualizations that make it easier to understand and communicate the real impact of flooding events. Benefits The flood impact analysis solution template leverages flood depth data to analyze the impact of flood events on critical assets such as buildings, bridges, low water crossings and roads. You can:  Define flood impact areas at each flood stage Determine what assets will be impacted and by how much Communicate the results of the analysis to community stakeholders create compelling 3D visualizations that make it easier to understand and communicate the real impact of flooding events.  Example: Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS  Get started with the Flood Impact Analysis solution Deploy the Flood Impact Analysis Pro project.

Make sure to check out the January 2019 release of the Local Government 3D basemap solution. This is a major release with a number of important updates: 40% reduction in steps required for elevation, 3D buildings, floors and 3D trees publishing. Faster processing speed when creating elevation layers. Faster processing speed when extracting and fusing buildings. Improved extraction quality and processing speed by adding the ability to: do automatic flat and sloped roof form segmentation. split building footprints by other features such as parcels. Before and after pre-processing the building footprints using splitting and auto-segmentation. Ability to add color to building roofs and facades. Tasks now work in any active scene. LOD1 Building creation now supports selection. Improved automatic unit conversion for default values in all tools. External Task files are included in the project. Support for ArcGIS Pro 2.3.
