Easily Extract Rooftops and Buildings FeatureAssist for ArcGIS is an optional add-on to Stereo Analyst for ArcGIS that lets you collect complex building roofs in the Esri multipatch format, which is an industry-standard format used to define the outer shape of 3D objects. You can also generate 3D models with the roof outlines using quick and easy tools that let you create walls that extend from the rooftops to the ground.
