As you saw, ArcGIS Pro supports some very powerful tools to visualize data in 3D. This opens new levels of understanding using your GIS data. You learned how you can create different scenes to support different spatial extents.

You also learned how you can use different methods to turn 2D data into 3D features using extrusion or 3D symbol styles. When using extrusion, you can illustrate the true height of features using one of the four methods supported in ArcGIS Pro. Using 3D symbols can add a level of visual realism to your scenes.

The key element to create a 3D scene is to define a ground surface. You learned that you can use the default Esri-provided world elevation surface or one of your own. If you decided to use your own, it can be a DEM or a TIN. Using your own ground surface can increase the accuracy of the elevation data within your scene and the relationships between features along the z-axis.
