The following content changes related to ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcGIS Server development have been made this week.

New article - How to extrude features in globe
Programming language(s): C#
Development platforms: ArcGIS Desktop with 3D Analyst
Extrusion is the process of stretching a flat 2D shape vertically to create a 3D object. It is a simple way to create three-dimensional symbology from two-dimensional features. For example, you can extrude building polygons by a height value to create realistic building shapes. The three basic geometry types—points, lines and polygons—all support extrusion. This article explains the process of extruding a feature layer using different extrusion options in globe. Note: At the publish date, the code fragments in this document are provided in C# only. VB.Net code will be added at a later date.

Enhanced Export topology errors sample
Programming language(s): VB6
Development platforms: ArcGIS Desktop
The Export topology errors sample has been enhanced to work with high precision and File geodatabases. The Export Errors sample can be used to export topology errors and optionally, exceptions, to Shapefile, Personal or File Geodatabase format. Errors can be exported based on three criteria; shape, type of topology rule, or topology rule.
