Make an auto-rotating globe<\/h2>\n

Scene Viewer<\/a> is used to author, view, and interact with 3D scenes. ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World<\/a> includes authoritative live feeds and other global content. 3D Viewer<\/a> is one of the ArcGIS Instant Apps<\/a> that lets you showcase a scene using easily configured tools.<\/p>\n

Using the above, follow these steps to make your own rotating globe in a minute, maybe less.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong> \u2014 Sign in to your ArcGIS account and open Scene Viewer.

Improve the scene with a reference layer or 3D labels<\/h2>\n

With a few additional steps, the scene and rotating globe can be improved using the reference layer or 3D labels found in scene basemaps.<\/p>\n

An easy way to add a reference layer or labels is to choose the basemap whose reference layer or 3D place labels you want to use from the Scene Viewer basemap gallery.
