King Kamehameha of the Big Island had a vision to unite the Hawai'ian islands under one monarchy. The Nu'uanu Pali lookout is a scenic lookout on O'ahu’s Windward Coast with important historical significance for the Hawai'ian Islands. A view of Diamond Head crater from Waikīkī Beach Nu'uanu Pali lookout The summit of Diamond Head includes old military bunkers and lookout spots with a view of Waikīkī. The hiking trail, which ascends the inner face of the crater, is now open to the public. The crater has been used by the United States military as a lookout point and a trail was built to the summit in 1908.

The two lookout locations displayed in a 3D Scene in ArcGIS Pro Diamond Head State Monumentĭiamond Head (Lē'ahi in Hawai'ian) is a crater located adjacent to Waikīkī Beach and was formed 300,000 years ago through an explosive volcanic eruption. Her research and workflow are outlined below. Like all GIS analysts, she has brought her laptop on vacation and decides to research the areas and model the scenes from the lookouts to make her decision easier.
A GIS vacationĪ GIS analyst is on vacation in Hawai'i! She is planning her last day on O'ahu and needs to decide between two lookout points known for their panoramic views: Diamond Head crater and the Nu'uanu Pali lookout. If you do not have access to 3D Analyst you can also complete the workflow in 2D using Spatial Analyst. The workflow requires access to ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension and ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. The workflow also introduces creating tools in ModelBuilder. The workflow includes tools such as Topo to Raster, Hillshade, Viewshed, Slope, Focal Statistics, and the Raster Calculator. The primary objective of this case study is to demonstrate surface analysis and 3D display of rasters. While the data is real, the scenario, analysis, and resulting decisions are hypothetical. This example use case presents an approach to using ArcGIS to perform three-dimensional surface analysis.
