PROBLEM
In the 3D Analyst tutorial, Exercise 1 p. 10, if you click on a layer in ArcCatalog and click Preview, there is no 3D View option.
The 3D Analyst extension is not enabled in ArcCatalog by default.
Note:
You must enable the extension in ArcCatalog and in ArcMap before it becomes usable.
Note:
You will also need to enable the 3D Analyst extension again from within ArcMap to use the 3D Analyst functionality in ArcMap in Exercise 4.
