Author(s): Tahsin Yomralioglu, Halil Sogut

3D GIS allows users to create a realistic perspective image that drapes over a surface. ArcGIS 3D Analyst allows users to visualize global perspective and large sets of 3D geographic data, and it provides the capability to seamlessly interact with any geospatial information as data layers on 3D globe. Using the ability of ArcGIS with ArcGlobe, a 3D digital view of Trabzon city in Turkey has been successfully created on the Globe. Required large-scale data including a high-resolution satellite image was extracted from the current set of geographically referenced dataset of an urban GIS. This paper will explore how a 3D city modeling environment can be used in the real world with the power of ArcGlobe.
