Displaying edits using the Attribute window

Available with 3D Analyst license.

It is common to use feature attributes to drive feature symbology in 3D, such as the feature's elevation, extrusion, or rotation angle. By using the Attributes window on the 3D Editor toolbar, you can change these display properties for a feature. For example, you can change the value of the attribute that represents the extrusion height.

You can edit attributes of a selected feature, as well as any features or records related to it. To open the Attribute window, click the Attributes Attributes button on the 3D Editor toolbar.
