\u00a0 Once you have chosen a 3D basemap you will have access to a global 3D dataset based on open street map data. This includes realistic and thematic trees, untextured buildings and places and labels. For optimal performance, the 3D features will render once you zoom in.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Want to mash up your own data with the 3D basemap? No problem! You can easily add a mask<\/a> and add your own 3D content.

Relative to scene elevation mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 When features are in the 3D category of a local or global scene you can leverage a new elevation mode<\/a> relative to scene<\/em>. This mode is for features that know where they are compared to the scene. These features align to the ground and 3D objects such as extruded polygons or buildings. For example, let’s say you have points that you would like to display on top of the building. Previously, these points would have to have Z values on top of the building or a field specifying the height. Now with relative to scene, the points will render on top of 3D objects even if they do not have Z values.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2166932,"id":2166932,"title":"ParisRelativeToScene","filename":"ParisRelativeToScene.png","filesize":555775,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/whats-new-with-scene-layers-arcgis-pro-3-2\/parisrelativetoscene","alt":"Relative to scene elevation mode","author":"7491","description":"","caption":"Points of interest with relative to scene elevation mode","name":"parisrelativetoscene","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2138132,"date":"2023-11-18 14:50:45","modified":"2023-11-18 14:51:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":624,"height":320,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":238,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","medium_large-width":624,"medium_large-height":320,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","large-width":624,"large-height":320,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","1536x1536-width":624,"1536x1536-height":320,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","2048x2048-width":624,"2048x2048-height":320,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","card_image-width":624,"card_image-height":320,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ParisRelativeToScene.png","wide_image-width":624,"wide_image-height":320}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Performance improvements<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 At each release we strive to improve performance across the geoprocessing tools that we own. At this release we have improved performance considerably for the create point scene layer content<\/a> tool and clip<\/a> tools. For clip we focused on improving performance when using 3D object or point cloud scene services as input. For the create 3D object scene layer content<\/a> tool we have improved texture performance when using the Mobile<\/em> or All<\/em> texture optimization performance. Take a look at the table below for some sample datasets and comparisons across the releases.<\/p>\n

Threshold angle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 A new property on mesh symbols<\/a> has been added to enhance the look of 3D object features. Every 3D object consists of multiple faces, including a back and front side. The threshold angle is the minimum angle between the face normals at which the stroke is drawn, and the default value is 35 degrees. By enabling the apply threshold angle to both sides of faces<\/span><\/em> option, the stroke is applied to both sides of the face. This will enhance the look of complex shapes and in the case below you can see the better delineation of the domes with this new property.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2167712,"id":2167712,"title":"AngleComparison","filename":"AngleComparison.png","filesize":70204,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/whats-new-with-scene-layers-arcgis-pro-3-2\/anglecomparison","alt":"Threshold angle of a 3D object feature","author":"7491","description":"","caption":"","name":"anglecomparison","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2138132,"date":"2023-11-20 13:46:43","modified":"2023-11-20 13:46:59","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":624,"height":381,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","medium-width":427,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","medium_large-width":624,"medium_large-height":381,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","large-width":624,"large-height":381,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","1536x1536-width":624,"1536x1536-height":381,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","2048x2048-width":624,"2048x2048-height":381,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","card_image-width":624,"card_image-height":381,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/AngleComparison.png","wide_image-width":624,"wide_image-height":381}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
