Mask a scene layer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 To prevent features from displaying based on one or many areas, you can mask<\/a> point and 3D object scene layers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 A common workflow to mask out scene layers is to combine multiple 3D layers where features occupy the same space. When authoring a map or scene, you can drape 2D layers on top of each other and see them all at the same time. This is not possible with 3D features, since these features compete for the same space. Instead, you have to remove the 3D features that compete for the same 3D space with the features you want to display.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 For example, you want to mask features in a scene layer to visualize a new residential area in a city, and you are combining your new layer with the Esri-provided OpenStreetMap 3D Buildings<\/a>\u00a0layer. In this case, you can mask the area of the new residential construction from the OpenStreetMap 3D buildings layer.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1861992,"id":1861992,"title":"MaskInclude","filename":"MaskInclude.gif","filesize":342347,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/whats-new-with-scene-layers-arcgis-pro-3-1\/maskinclude","alt":"Mask a scene layer","author":"7491","description":"","caption":"Mask a scene layer","name":"maskinclude","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1828092,"date":"2023-03-01 22:35:41","modified":"2023-03-01 22:36:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":500,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","medium-width":313,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":500,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","large-width":600,"large-height":500,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":500,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":500,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude-558x465.gif","card_image-width":558,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MaskInclude.gif","wide_image-width":600,"wide_image-height":500}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

\u00a0 You can clip point, 3D object, point cloud, integrated mesh or building scene services in the Clip geoprocessing tool<\/a>.

Layer offset<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Have you ever wanted to adjust the offset<\/a> for a scene layer in a scene? At the ArcGIS Pro 3.1 release, we have added the ability to adjust the offset in the Elevation page of the layer properties. For example you can raise or lower your integrated mesh scene layer.
