Learn to create a dynamic digital twin using 3D geospatial data in this 24-minute tutorial video that demonstrates how to build a three-dimensional building representation with real-time temperature-based color changes. Master essential 3D GIS skills including converting 2D objects to 3D, utilizing Lidar data for object shaping, applying textures, and integrating real-time weather data through Python scripting in ArcGIS Pro. Starting with fundamental concepts about 3D data handling, progress through hands-on tasks to develop a sophisticated digital twin model. While Python experience isn't required thanks to provided code files, gain insights into the programming aspects for future customization. Explore background concepts like Lidar, Multipatch features, and vertical coordinate systems before diving into practical steps using ArcGIS Pro software to create an interactive digital twin that connects with National Weather Service data feeds.
