Overview of this book

ArcGIS Pro, Esri's newest desktop GIS application, offers powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. This cookbook will help existing ArcMap users transition to ArcGIS Pro and teach new users how to utilize its GIS tools effectively. You’ll learn how to create geodatabases, convert data formats, link tables from outside sources, edit 2D and 3D data, ensure data integrity with topology, and enable advanced geodatabase behavior. By the end, you'll be able to effectively use ArcGIS Pro as your primary desktop GIS application, maintaining, analyzing, and displaying data using common methods and tools.

Enabling your data to store Z coordinates (elevation)

In Chapter 8, Creating a Geodatabase, we learned that vector data, points, lines, and polygons store data using the X and Y coordinates for the features. This determines their location, which is then displayed in a map. We expanded on that in Chapter 7, Projections and Coordinate System Basics, where we learned those X and Y coordinates were referencing locations in a specific, real-world coordinate system that ties our data to the Earth. This allowed us to bring data from all over into our maps so that we could see their spatial relationships. ArcGIS Pro will project data that is in different coordinate systems on the fly, so they are displayed together. However, that only represents two dimensions.

Can you enable data in ArcGIS Pro to store Z, the third dimension? Of course you can. You typically do this when you first create the feature class or shapefile. Some formats, such as an AutoCAD DWG and DXF files, are always Z-enabled...
