Models in 3D

Discover for ArcGIS Pro has the powerful ability to allow extrusion between 3D polygons to generate a solid structure. It can execute extrusion between any two polygons that have a Z value.

Any two 3D polygons can be joined using the Solid from Selection tool. All models created in Discover are saved as multipatch feature classes under the Models.gdb, located in the Discover Drilling Folder, in the Catalog pane.

All models have attributes indicating their volume, surface area, and face count. These measurements are in the drillhole project's projection units.

The Solid from Template tool uses the Section Template tool, which dictates how you intend the data to be organized in 3D space. This tool amalgamates polygons from identical tables and attribute types (for example, Geology or Granite). Additionally, this tool can make use of tie-lines for enhanced accuracy.
