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 scene
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.
