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
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
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
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
, 4|Page
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 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.
Which spatial relationship type has any part of a feature
from one feature class coming into contact with any part of
a feature from another feature class? - ANSWER-Intersect
Which spatial relationship has a feature from one feature
class completely enclosing a feature from another feature
class? - ANSWER-Contain
