When you create a 3D Scene within ArcGIS Pro, there are several elevations you need to be concerned about. You first need to define a ground elevation. The ground elevation provides a baseline for your Scene and is the canvas many other layers are applied to within your map.
Once you have established your ground elevation, you then need to determine the elevations of your 3D features. You will often find two elevations used for your 3D features, the first being the starting or base elevation, and the second being the height or depth of the features. These may be directly related to the ground or at an absolute elevation.
We will now take a closer look at these different elevations that you need to set in your Scene. We will start with a discussion on how to set the ground elevation and which data formats you can use to establish the ground elevation for your Scene.
