Apply 3D

Functionality

The Apply 3D operation resamples an input raster map according to a georeference 3D. This enables you to permanently and quickly display the output raster map in three dimensions, i.e. as a 3D view.

To create a georeference 3D, you need a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and you have to specify 3D view parameters in the georeference 3D editor. For more information, see Georeference 3D editor.

  

The functionality of the Resample and the Apply 3D operations are comparable. With the Resample operation, you can resample a raster map to any georeference. The Apply 3D operation is designed to resample a raster map to a georeference 3D but the resampling process has the same result as using the Resample operation.

When the output raster map of Apply 3D is displayed in a map window, you can add extra point, segment and polygon maps to enhance the 3D view. As usual, you can save the contents of the map window a map view.

Input map requirements:

No special requirements for the input raster map. Further, a georeference 3D is required which you can create and modify according to your wishes with Display 3D or Apply 3D and the Georeference 3D editor.

Domain and georeference of output map:

The output raster map uses the same domain as the input raster map.

The output raster map uses the georeference 3D as specified by the user.
