The student aims to create a realistic 3D virtual environment of their childhood neighborhood in ArcScene by ensuring all layers are properly located in three dimensions and building one structure using Google SketchUp. Datasets include power lines, mailboxes, stop signs, vehicles, houses, fences, water lines, and other features which will be digitized and modeled with 3D symbology. Results will include isometric views, a transparent view, street view, and movie of the reconstructed neighborhood.
