Making a 3-d map in ArcGlobe
To create 3d visualization that allows you to flythrough the terrain and simulate the image that an actual observer on the ground will
see, use ArcGlobe. It is similar to Google Earth but allows you to import high resolution elevation maps and drap anydesired
ground image or map on the surface.
Open ArcGlobe
Import a background image such as the ESRI World Imagerylayer
The tutorial "Finding Digital Elevation Maps (DEMs) for use in ArcMap and other GIS programs" shows how to download
DGEM files.
Click the Add data icon and navigate to the extracted DGEM tiff file downloaded from USGS. This example uses files from
the Grand Canyon area.
Import the data file.
You maybe asked if you want to create pyramids. Respond yes.

ArcGlobe will ask if this file contains a background image or elevation data. Pick Use this layer as elevation sourceand
click Finish.

If you click the checkmark for displaying the elevation layer on and off repeatadly, and the elevation is high enough, you will
be able to see the area move as the elevation data is applied.

Clicking on the record button allows a flythrough animation to be recorded.
The recording can be saved from the animation toolbar as a file that can be played back in ArcGlobe.
The recording can also be exported as a video file that can be played in media players.
