 # Exporting 3D Data and Importing in Rhino and 3DS Max
 
+_Note that this tutorial works in ArcGIS version 10.4.1.5686. For version 10.5.1.7333 (which is on GSAPP computers), see this [tutorial](https://github.com/CenterForSpatialResearch/gis_tutorials/blob/master/26_Exporting_3D_data_from_ArcGIS_to_Rhino.md) instead. _

 Below are instructions on how to import 3D data from ArcScene into Rhino and 3DS Max. This tutorial uses the following datasets:
 * [Building footprints](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Building-Footprints/nqwf-w8eh)
 * [NYC 3D Building Model](http://www1.nyc.gov/site/doitt/initiatives/3d-building.page), the "Multipatch (ESRI)" file, which has much better resolution and includes building setbacks.

 ## Exporting Data
 
-Enable the 'Data Interoperability' and '3D Analyst' extensions by going to 'Customize --> Extensions' in the toolbar of either ArcCatalog or ArcScene. Failure to do so will result in the necessary tools not running

-Go to the 'layer 3D to Feature Class' tool in 'Arctoolbox --> 3D Analyst tools --> Conversion'
-This tells arcscene that the layer is a mesh object that can be transformed to other relevant file types. Selecting the 'folder' button to the right of the 'Output Feature Class' address bar lets you change the destination and name of the output file

 ## Importing to Rhino
-'Import' the file into Rhino. You can edit the Rhino import settings if you wish, or you can just leave it default. You might need to 'Zoom Extents' to find the location of the objects.

-You'll notice that the faces of the objects imported from ArcScene render incorrectly so to fix that, you need to 'select all' and 'explode' the meshes. Now, all faces should be rendered properly on all sides.

 ## Importing with Z axis intact
-If the ArcScene layers have X, Y and Z axes, i.e. floating on a contour surface or particular z axis heights, you can still import them to Rhino at those heights. Refer to [this tutorial](https://github.com/CenterForSpatialResearch/gis_tutorials/blob/master/09_Creating_A_3D_Site_Model_In_GIS.md) for help with this. Select 'feature to 3D by attribute' from 'Arctoolbox --> 3D Analyst Tools --> Feature to 3D by Attribute'. This essentially allows you to set the heights at which each feature is extruded from using a particular attribute.

-Select the 'height field' as the 'Z axis', which would be the base heights of the features (ground elevation in this case). This process can also be used for making contour lines 3D.

 ## Exporting contour lines for Rhino
-Select 'export to CAD' from 'Conversion Tools --> To CAD.' This tools let you export a layer or multiple layers to CAD, at which point you can then'import' to Rhino. The CAD file will already be 3D if its base heights were already set up in ArcScene.
