Pretty good but out of date A solid tutorial style guide to ArcScene and ArcMap version 8. With ArcMap 9.2 out and ArcGlobe about to nudge out ArcScene, the book needs a new edition. It is a useful and informative book.. If you use 3D Analyst - you need this book Kennedy's style - clear, friendly and to the point - serves as a great example of how tutorials should be written. The easy to understand writing and well-thought-out steps pleasantly disguise the volume of information in this book. After finishing the exercises, I feel that I can do just about anything I want with 3D Analyst and I didn't have to endure the typical learning-as-punishment writing style that I have battled with so many other software tutorials. If you are using or are interested in using 3D analyst, I highly recommend this book!. Very good! Good exercises, good explanation of the aplicability of the tools. This book reached my expectations. I recommend it for urban palnners, environmental engineers and geopraphers.
Readers will also learn to navigate in real time through 3D terrain, perform line-of-sight and volume analysis, and convert between raster, TIN, and vector formats. Data in Three Dimensions: A Guide to ArcGIS 3D Analyst is a self-study workbook providing tutorial information and over 25 step-by-step exercises that show you how to manipulate surface data in a three-dimensional environment using ESRI’s 3D Analyst extension to ArcGIS. New to 3D Analyst 8.2, users will be shown how to create 3D animated films that can be exported as avi (Audio Video Interleave) movie files. Exercises are easy to understand, with detailed discussions of data types and software functionality throughout. Designed for use with ArcGIS Desktop software, this book makes a great accompaniment to ArcGIS 3D Analyst versions 8.1 and higher.. Readers learn how to create TIN, raster, and 3D vector data; set 3D display properties such as sun position and vertical exaggeration; and display ordinary two-dimensional features such as rivers, roads, and buildings in 3D
