3D visual analysis

A 3D visual analysis is a type of client-side analysis that calculates and displays spatial information derived from the terrain, buildings, and other 3D objects contained within a . 3D visual analysis consists of two major classes of analysis: visibility analyses which determine what is visible from a certain point and measurement analyses which determine the physical dimensions of 3D elements.

3D visual analysis is typically an interactive process and the results can be updated as the user input and environment change. When an analysis is complete, the results can be displayed on a scene to solve problems and gain a better understanding of complex 3D environments.
