ArcGIS allows you to visualize 2D data 'in 3D' in ArcScene and
ArcGlobe. However this is done through setting layer properties in the
Base Heights tab, leaving the actual feature geometries as 2D.
Sometimes
it is necessary to turn the 2D geometries into 3D features using on an
elevation model. This is especially true when you want the feature to
interact with the surface (e.g. burn building footprints into the
terrain) or use them in 3D spatial analysis.
The new 2Dto3D template
shows the process of creating 3D features from 2D using an elevation
model. The data used in this template is a subset of the buildings
available in the Virtual City template.
