Import 3D Files

Import 3D Files Tool, From File Toolset, Conversion Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox:

 

Import 3D Files

Imports one or more 3D models into a multipatch feature class.

1.    Files/Folders

One or more 3D models or folders containing such files in the supported formats, which are 3D Studio Max (*.3ds), SketchUp (*.skp), VRML and GeoVRML (*.wrl), OpenFlight (*.flt), and COLLADA (*.dae).

2.    Output Multipatch Feature Class

The multipatch that will be created from the input files.

3.    One Root Per Feature (optional)

Indicates whether to produce one feature per file or one feature for every root node in the file. This option only applies to VRML models.

· Unchecked—The generated output will contain one file for each feature. This is the default.

· Checked—The generated output will contain one feature for each root node in the file.

4.    Coordinate System (optional)

The coordinate system of the input data. For the majority of formats, this is unknown. Only the GeoVRML format stores its coordinate system, and its default will be obtained from the first file in the list unless a spatial reference is specified here.

5.    Y Is Up (optional)

Identifies the axis that defines the vertical orientation of the input files.

· Unchecked—Indicates that z is up. This is the default.

· Checked—Indicates that y is up.

6.    File Suffix (optional)

The file extension of the files to import from an input folder. This parameter is required when at least one folder is specified as an input.

1. *—All supported files. This is the default.
2. 3DS—3D Studio Max
3. WRL —VRML or GeoVRML
4. SKP —SketchUp
5. FLT—OpenFlight
6. DAE —Collada

7.    Placement Points (optional)

The point features whose coordinates define the real-world position of the input files. Each input file will be matched to its corresponding point based on the file names stored in the Symbol Field. The Coordinate System parameter should be defined to match the spatial reference of the points.

8.    Symbol Field

The field in the point features containing the name of the 3D file associated with each point.

LandXML to TIN

How to use LandXML to TIN Tool in Arc Toolbox ArcMap ArcGIS ??

LandXML to TIN

LandXML to TIN Tool, From File Toolset, Conversion Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox:

LandXML to TIN

This tool imports one or more triangulated irregular network (TIN) surfaces from a LandXML file to output Esri TINs.

1.    11111Input

The input LandXML file.

Output TIN Folder

The folder that the output TINs will be created in.

Output TIN Base Name

The basename of the resulting TIN. When several TINs will be exported from the LandXML file, the basename is used to define a unique name for each output TIN. If <basename> already exists, the tool will not write anything. If <basename> does not exist but <basename>2 exists, the tool will create <basename> and <basename>2_1, instead of <basename>2.

TINs to Import (optional)

The one or more LandXML TIN surfaces that will be exported to an Esri TIN.

1.    Input

The input LandXML file.

2.    Output TIN Folder

The folder that the output TINs will be created in.

3.    Output TIN Base Name

The basename of the resulting TIN. When several TINs will be exported from the LandXML file, the basename is used to define a unique name for each output TIN. If <basename> already exists, the tool will not write anything. If <basename> does not exist but <basename>2 exists, the tool will create <basename> and <basename>2_1, instead of <basename>2.

4.    TINs to Import (optional)

The one or more LandXML TIN surfaces that will be exported to an Esri TIN.
