Which three attributes could be used to extrude 2D features into 3D features?
Total population
Building height
Land use type
County name
Annual income - ANSWER-Total population
Building height
Annual income
An assessor wants to extrude a 2D Census block group polygon layer to display the number of buildings
that were damaged after an earthquake. The layer's attribute table includes a Damaged field, which
contains the number of damaged buildings that each block group contains. The assessor moved the
layer to the 3D category in the Contents pane and set the extrusion type to a minimum height. Which
,2|Page
action should the assessor perform next to most effectively display the number of buildings that were
damaged in each block group? - ANSWER-Use the Expression Builder to apply a multiplier to the
Damaged field.
An environmental attorney wants to extrude a line feature to reflect a boundary line around a protected
habitat. For the boundary to be drawn properly, each feature vertex needs to be extruded upward by
100 meters. Which extrusion method is best to use? - ANSWER-Adding to a feature's base height
This will keep your symbols at a fixed size instead of scaling when you zoom in or out. You can adjust the
size of the tree from the symbology properties. - ANSWER-Displaying your 3D symbols in real-world
units
Which statement describes a characteristic of 3D symbology? - ANSWER-3D symbols are graphical
representations of data.
Which is a visual enhancement capability only available for global scenes? - ANSWER-Illumination by
date and time
A landscape architect is creating a 3D scene of a sports complex. The grass from the football fields has
been symbolized using a 2D polygon symbol. The architect would like to apply a realistic symbology to
the grass but does not have access to a procedural rule package. Which step should the architect take to
symbolize the football field grass? - ANSWER-Apply a picture fill symbol to the grass.
A cartographer in northern Canada has been tasked with enhancing the realism of a 3D local scene.
Using illumination effects, the cartographer wants to highlight the amount of sunlight cast based on a
specific date and time. Which action should the cartographer perform to enable illumination defined by
a specific date and time? - ANSWER-Convert the 3D local scene to a global scene.
Three types of elevation surfaces in a 3D scene - ANSWER-On the ground
Relative to the ground
Absolute height
Vertically adjusts the height value (or z-value) of the entire layer, raising or lowering all features in the
layer by a given height - ANSWER-Cartographic Offset
,3|Page
A property used to emphasize subtle changes in a surface, which is especially true when the horizontal
extent of the surface is greater than the amount of vertical change present. - ANSWER-Vertical
Exaggeration
Two main uses for vertical exaggeration - ANSWER-Amplify small changes in elevation on a surface that
is relatively flat
Bring z-values into proportion with x,y coordinates when the units measure different things
When mapping parcel boundaries in a 3D scene, which elevation type would be most appropriate? -
ANSWER-On the ground
Which is a reason to use vertical exaggeration? - ANSWER-To amplify changes in elevation on a surface
that is relatively flat
An analyst would like to view tree survey points in a 3D visualization. The survey points are being
obscured by the basemap. Which action should the analyst take to better visualize the points? -
ANSWER-Adjust the cartographic offset by 10 meters.
Which elevation type should be applied to earthquake origin points? - ANSWER-Relative to the ground
Enables you to take your points, lines, and polygon features and stretch them vertically to create real-
world 3D objects - ANSWER-Extrusion
T/F When you are extruding features, any quantitative attribute can be used as the extrusion field -
ANSWER-True
Extrusion type where each feature vertex is extruded upward by the same specified value - ANSWER-
Adding to base height
Extrusion type where the lowest vertex in the feature is extruded by the specified value, and all other
vertices are extruded to the same absolute value - ANSWER-Adding to minimum height
, 4|Page
Extrusion type where the highest vertex in the feature is extruded upward by the specified value, and all
other vertices are extruded to the same absolute value - ANSWER-Adding to maximum height
Extrusion type where all vertices are extruded to the specified value - ANSWER-Absolute value
When symbolizing a highway polygon feature, which two 3D symbol types could display a highway
surface with realistic median strips and lane dividers?
Choose two.
Model marker
Animated fill
Picture fill
Procedural marker
Procedural fill - ANSWER-Picture Fill
Procedural Fill
An on-screen control to help you filter and step through numeric data ranges for a layer, stand-alone
table, or catalog datasets in a map or scene - ANSWER-Range Slider
T/F The chosen field or fields for range sliders do not have to be a numeric type - ANSWER-False
Represents a state in time - ANSWER-Temporal Data
Which step comes first when performing analysis to understand spatial relationships in your data? -
ANSWER-Determine the spatial question.
Spatial relationship in which any part of a feature from the first feature class must contact the boundary
of a feature from the second feature class - ANSWER-Touches Relationship
Spatial relationship when a feature from the first feature class completely encloses a feature from the
second feature class. - ANSWER-Contains Relationship
