maunaloa Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 hy all! I have a problem, again :laugh: First, i working on an archeology site. There was a 5x10 meters "hole", and there are many medieval ground levels. Each levels are measured (there is a point shapefile, from i made raster surfaces). This surfaces are on the pictures below: My problem: this surfaces are the upper and lower "side" of a soil level. You can imagine a big, brick shaped cake, with layers :laugh: How can i make a full layer, what i can fill with a color or texture? I don't need only "flat", paper-like ground level, i want to make a soil-cake :laugh: I thought, maybe a geological extension for the ArcGis can make it. I dunno, how can ArcGis work with this cake-like layers (geological or soil, or whatever layers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 hem, i think you need arcscene to do that, add a height dimension on your layer based on topographic data :azn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maunaloa Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Lord, i have height dimension. These layers are raster layers, each have height source the own datas. But that layers are thick like a paper...I wanted to convert every two raster to a solid layer. (one raster is the solid layers lower part/side, one is the upper part/side) I've found a solution but a bit tricky: Version A: convert each raster to TIN, and extrude between tool makes the solid layer. The result is an angular TIN surface, and and angular surfaced solid layer. Version B: convert raster to point, there will be many-many points, and if you make a TIN from point data, the TIN surface will be smoother than in the version A. After the TIN production, extrude between tool, and everybody happy:) here is some screen: The results are multipatch objects.

Lurker Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 thats work, but extrude actually a concept from arcgis to add extrude data like borehole, mining, and etc :kiss: since your layer is soil layer, i think using extrude function is great idea :laugh: i think you can make smoother TIN when you change the setting as you convert the raster to TIN great job mate :kiss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
