In this two-day introductory course, you will learn how to create 3D models in SketchUp and integrate those models into your ArcGIS 9.x system and Google Earth. Three-dimensional modeling provides an easy way to demonstrate how a design proposal will fit into an existing site and allows the client to better visualize the design. A brief overview of displaying and navigating 3D data in ArcScene also will be provided.
