Interface IImport3DFile

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

Import3DFile

public interface IImport3DFile
extends Serializable

Provides access to a file used to create 3D General Multipatches.

Superseded By

IImport3DFile2

Remarks

Use this interface to import supported 3D models for 3D symbology. As of version 9.3, the following 3D model formats are supported: 3D Studio (*.3ds), OpenFlight 15.8 (*.flt), VRML 2.0 (*.wrl), SketchUp 6 (*.skp), and Collada 1.4 (*.dae). You can also use this interface to implement your own custom 3D models so that they can be imported on the user interface the same way as the other built-in 3D models. Please see the examples.

When To Use

This interface is new at ArcGIS 9.3. It supersedes IImport3DFile.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.
