I've done a bit of thinking about these things and why they make our brains happy. Read about that here: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/how-to-make-this-3d-diorama-of-the-straits-of-mackinac/

@reinaldo_GC Год назад

Amazing and didactic video, you make it look so easy and funny. I want to give you an idea for a future video video, if you could make a diorama from a geological cross section. I mean, from a geological map (with the beautiful aesthetic you give to polygons), create an A-A' profile and then visualize the geological polygons that section A-A' cuts in an X-Y plane, similar to a slice of a cake :D :D :D

@JohnNelsonMaps Год назад

thanks! yes, geologic profiles are the best use case for this sort of thing. thanks for the encouragement!

@joeflannery Год назад

John, you make it look so easy and I love how you show us the power of ArcGIS Pro. This particular project of yours attracted me, because my father grew up in Petoskey, MI. I have traveled over the Mackinac Bridge many times and each one is always a thrill. By the way, did you mean "Devonian" when you said and labeled "Denovian" (I have a BS and MS in Geology)?

@JohnNelsonMaps Год назад

thanks Joe! I love Petoskey! Shoot, yes it should say Devonian. Typical of me to have a typo, I can’t avoid them!

@jaquiring Год назад

This looks similar to a map I’ve been working on and got some ideas from your video. I want to show the projected change of sea level for 2100 with an elevated sea level in 3d and highlight the area of land between sea level today and 2100 projections. I’d love to see how you would do this!

@JohnNelsonMaps Год назад

Please do! I’m working with a team on a web mapping project like this. It’s 2D though

Master please accept my respect 🙏

@user-mc7eh6sj2h 8 месяцев назад

Thanks as always for your amazing tutorials, John! You are such an inspiration! For some reason, when I add the imagery basemap, it goes far beyond my DEM unlike the one in yours. Why do you think this is/how can I avoid that?

@JohnNelsonMaps 8 месяцев назад

thanks so much, Chiara! hmm, i think it's possible you are making a Global 3D scene, instead of a Local 3D scene. i've noticed that the Local 3D clips everything outside of its elevation source but the Global 3D will still show it. let me know if that's the case, either way.

@niajones4704 Год назад

This is great and really inspiring. How did you get the water texture to have a transparent background? Thanks!

@JohnNelsonMaps Год назад

I did that in photoshop but you can make an image semitransparent in any image editor you like. Even PowerPoint

@dustinferguson9393 Год назад

Awesome video, John! I was wondering if you knew what would be the best material to print this 3D Diorama on? Thanks!

@markjohnmiller 5 месяцев назад

Amazing Videos! I am really enjoying learning about how to create these effects for myself. I am wondering however if you can help me as I keep getting an error for Extract by Mask as well as when I try to Mosaic images together following your other video. I keep getting Error 999999 which tells me to contact ESRI. Any ideas? I have reached out to my contact at ESRI but they say it is not a license issue.

@JohnNelsonMaps 5 месяцев назад

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear about this inconvenience. The 999999 error is, to my knowledge, the generic name for an unspecified error. Pro doesn’t know what went wrong so there’s no prepared message for troubleshooting. Do you get it every time or intermittently?

@markjohnmiller 5 месяцев назад

@@JohnNelsonMaps Thanks for the reply! I was able to figure it out. It was happening every time a new layer / file would be created. The error was because I am using Parallels to run Pro on a Mac and was trying to save to the "Mac" portion of the drive.... Pro didn't like that at all.

@cityluver Месяц назад

At timestamp 3:48 there is a copy and paste of the Extract by Mask DEM and one is dropped onto the ground level. But mine does not show up. If I turned everything on, it would show a blank white space where it should be. I'm having troubleshooting. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated TY.

@JohnNelsonMaps Месяц назад

if you can find my email address (its at www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/author/j_nelson/) then email me and maybe we can figure it out.

@AndrewTernes 4 месяца назад

Is there a way to export these to format that can be 3D printed.

@JohnNelsonMaps 4 месяца назад

i wouldn't do it this way. instead, you consider exporting an elevation model as a gray-scale image and use a 3rd party tool to convert the image to an STL file.

@AndrewTernes 4 месяца назад

@@JohnNelsonMaps Thanks for the reply. You make fantastic informative videos. I’m now a keen follower. I had hoped there would be an easier way to get a colour model out ESRI. I have had success with some full colour 3d prints using blender and the 3d printing service shapeways. If you like I can send you my article and some image examples.

@chrome-o-some3380 5 месяцев назад

is it possible to print such a diarama on a 3d printer?

@JohnNelsonMaps 5 месяцев назад

That’s a tall order for Pro, currently. But it can be done if you export your elevation image and then use another tool to convert it into a format compatible with 3D printing
