15/5/24, 16:23 Exercise: Publish and share the 3D scene
Exercise: Publish and share the 3D scene
In the previous exercise, you authored a global scene that had 3D data (multipatches) and 2D data. You would now like to create a scene layer package from your multipatch feature data (buildings) and publish it as a hosted scene layer using ArcGIS Online.
Note: This exercise builds on previous exercise results. If necessary, complete the Author a 3D scene exercise before continuing.
Estimated completion time in minutes: 25 minutes
To complete exercises, you need the following:
· ArcGIS Pro 3.1 (Basic, Standard, or Advanced) · ArcGIS 3D Analyst · ArcGIS Online Organizational Account · Publisher role or equivalent · Approximate number of service credits consumed: 1 (based on current service credit rates; rates subject to change)
Expand all steps Collapse all steps
- Step 1: Create a scene layer package
In this step, you will use the Create Scene Layer Package geoprocessing tool to create a scene layer package (.slpk) from the input multipatch feature layer.
If necessary, start ArcGIS Pro and open the Global3DScene project.
In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and open the Create 3D Object Scene Layer Content tool.
In the Create 3D Object Scene Layer Content tool, set the following parameters:
· Input Dataset: Buildings_3D_Terrain
· Output Scene Layer Package: Browse to C:\EsriTraining\3DSceneLayerPackage\MyData and for Name, type 3DBuildings_SLPK.
Accept the remaining defaults and click Run.
Open File Explorer and browse to ..\EsriTraining\3DSceneLayerPackage\MyData.
The new scene layer package is now created.
Minimize File Explorer.
- Step 2: Sign in to ArcGIS Online
The first step to publish content to ArcGIS Online is to sign in to your organizational site.
1/5 15/5/24, 16:23 Exercise: Publish and share the 3D scene
Open a web browser and go to www.arcgis.com.
On the ArcGIS Online web page, click Sign In.
Type your organizational account user name and password.
Click Sign In.
After you sign in, your organization's home page typically appears.
- Step 3: Add the scene layer package to ArcGIS Online
Now that you have signed in, you will add the scene layer package to the site and publish it as a hosted scene layer.
At the top of the page, click Content.
The Content page is your storage space for items that you have added to the site or created. You can add files here, and (if the files are the appropriate file type) you can publish them as hosted layers.
On the My Content tab, under Content, click New Item.
In the New Item dialog box, click Your Device.
In the File Upload dialog box, browse to ..\EsriTraining\3DSceneLayerPackage\MyData on your computer,
select 3DBuildings_SLPK.slpk, and click Open.
Check the Add 3DBuildings_SLPK.slpk And Create A Hosted Scene Layer option.
If you choose the option to Add 3DBuildings_SLPK.slpk Only, your scene layer package is added to Content, but no scene layer is published. You can publish it later by opening the item page for the scene layer package and clicking Publish.
Click Next.
In the New Item dialog box, for Tags, add the following tags to describe the scene layer package: Portland, 3D, 3D Buildings, 3D GIS, pressing Enter after each tag.
Click Save.
Note: It might take a few minutes for the scene layer package to publish.
After the file has successfully published, the item's details appear. The item page provides descriptive information about an item, along with options to use or configure the item.
The publishing of the tree point features as symbolized trees is not covered in this exercise. However, you can convert the symbolized trees to 3D objects using the Layer 3D To Feature Class geoprocessing tool, and then you can publish both the trees and the buildings using the Scene Layer Package geoprocessing tools.
- Step 4: Edit the item description
You will complete the item's details to help other site members understand what this information represents.
2/5 15/5/24, 16:23 Exercise: Publish and share the 3D scene
To the right of the thumbnail, click Add A Brief Summary About The Item and type Site-specific 3D scene, City of Portland, Oregon.
Click Save.
Repeat this process for the Description, Terms Of Use, and Credits (Attribution) fields, using the following information:
· Description: This content represents the buildings from the city of Portland, Oregon. · Terms Of Use: Use of this data is restricted to training, demonstration, and educational purposes only. · Credits (Attribution): City of Portland, Oregon Scroll up and click Share.
In the Share dialog box, check the box for Everyone (Public), and then click Save.
When you share with everyone, your scene becomes public; anybody who has access to ArcGIS Online, including anonymous users, can find and use it, and group owners can include it in their group content.
Note: If you are unable to share with everyone, share with your organization instead.
- Step 5: Open the hosted scene layer
You will open the scene to confirm that it has successfully published.
Click Open In Scene Viewer.
Scene Viewer opens, and the hosted service layer displays in the map.
Point to the scene and, if necessary, click the Rotate button to pan or rotate in 3D.
Navigate in and around the scene.
3/5 15/5/24, 16:23 Exercise: Publish and share the 3D scene
Step 5a: Open the hosted scene layer.
Your colors may vary from this graphic.
Next, you will capture a few navigation slides.
On the left, in the Contents toolbar, click the Slides button .
In the scene, navigate to a view of your choice, and then in the Slides pane, click Capture Slide.
Repeat the process to capture a few slides.
On the right side of the application, from the toolbar, click the Daylight/Weather tool .
Experiment with sun exposure by sliding the Daylight slider back and forth.
You will see the shadows move based on the time of day that you select.
When you are finished, in the Contents toolbar, click the Save button .
In the Save Scene dialog box, set the following parameters:
· Title: 3D Buildings · Summary: Portland 3D Scene · Tags: Portland, 3D Click Save.
Close the web browser.
In ArcGIS Pro, save your changes, and then exit ArcGIS Pro.
