INTRODUCTION

3D - GIS can be understood simply as a 3D model combined with the management of its attribute by GIS softwares to meet user requirements. 3D - GIS expands GIS capabilities to build, display and analysis of three-dimensional data, perform and display navigation perspective, provides analysis functions to help calculate the slope, terrain, shadow use for assessment of high-elevation areas, perform analysis visualization, calculate earthwork volumes, interpolate surface from a height value and create vertical alignment for research objects.

3D GIS TECHNIQUE

1.1. THE IMPORTANT OF 3D- GIS

There are many advantages with an interactive 3D terrain

model. It can offer users the ability to select active observer status

in the map, enable to realize and more understand easier about

spatial and attribute data concerning topographic objects. 3D

terrain with the content categories, the various details for the

purposes of tourism, planning and forecasting future commodity

has become common in many developing countries.

1.2. Ability to develop 3D-GIS in future of Vietnam

Currently, in Vietnam, GIS are widely used in many fields of science related to spatial data, from the natural sciences to the social sciences. These include the application of GIS in electric power, information technology, water supply, transportation, environment...

Besides the above advantages, there are various difficulties for Vietnam when approaching and applying 3D - GIS in urban infrastructure management, as there is not a homogeneous system, limitations of funding and human resources to operate the system 3D - GIS.

Interface of Google Sketchup 8:

- Quick, simple, easy to use, effective:

In addition, you can also share your designs with other users

through the warehouse 3D features.

Also in 3D warehouse, you can refer to and get to use a lot of

designs by other users to create and share, from homes to furniture,

supplies, vehicles, statues, bridges. ..

- Fast but exactly.

Sketchup capable of detecting point interpolation,

accurate data entry to 6 decimal fraction, simulate real

time shadows, creating interactive section ...

2.2.3. GOOGLE SKETCHUP COMBINES WITH ARCGIS

Google SketchUp combine with ArcGIS can set up the 3D city

model quickly, spatial queries made easy.

STUDY AREA

 Hanoi University of Mining and Geology - HUMG

3.4. Methodology

Data preparation Data EditingExtruding

Buildings in ArcScene

Converting data to Multipatch

Converting data to Collada

Rendering 3D COLLADA Models

in SketchUp

Save models in COLLADA

Placing Rendered 3D Models in

ArcScene

Transfering models to Google Earth

Data preparationData used:

- AutoCAD data of HUMG (2D data)

- Height value- Relative attributes of buildings- Photos of sides of buildings

Software used

- Arcgis and Google sketchup

3.4.2. Data Editing

- Tranform CAD data into shapefile

- Add Attribute:

3.4.3. Extruding Buildings in ArcScene:

3.4.4. Converting data to Multipatch

3.4.5. Converting data to Collada

3.4.6. Rendering 3D COLLADA Models in SketchUp

Photo-match for buildings

3.4.7. Save models in COLLADA:After finishing, the models will be saved as skethcup format

(.skp) to be back and edit if nessessary. However, to put the models back to ArcScene, COLLADA format are used once more time. From Menu File, choose Export to COLLADA

3.4.8. Placing Rendered 3D Models in ArcScene:

3.4.8. Transfering models to Google Earth

CONCLUSION3D-GIS nowadays play an important role in human life. It is very

useful to many aspect of life. This research gives an overview of the development of 3D - GIS in the world, in Vietnam and viability of 3D - GIS in the future of Vietnam. It research the ability of combining ArcGIS and Google Sketchup software to establish 3D model quickly and accurate spatial as well as attribute information.

The result is a 3D – GIS of Hanoi University of Mining and Geology with a high accuracy and easy to query attribute information. Furthermore, it is very useful in planning, managing and spatial analysis of the university. The completed model can be exported to Google Earth for advertising university’s scene.
