For ArcGIS Pro 2.2, the Scene Layers Team was tasked with overhauling the elevation surface functionality. While this story is not finished, we have made significant changes to how elevation surfaces are handled in ArcGIS Pro. This blog will highlight this new functionality.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Elevation Surfaces are part of the contents pane<\/h3>\n

Elevation surfaces are no longer hidden in the scene properties. They have been removed from the scene properties and added to the contents pane. All the same functionality available in the scene properties are available via the ribbon for the elevation surface.<\/p>\n

A scene always has at least one elevation surface, which represents the ground. You cannot remove the ground surface, but you can replace or remove its elevation source.<\/p>\n

Both surfaces and sources can be added in the contents pane. Each surface has it’s own contextual ribbon and each source has properties that can be accessed such as data source information and spatial reference information. You can have one surface with many sources or multiple surfaces with one source or multiple surfaces with many sources. This provides as much flexibility as you need to set up your scene properly.<\/p>\n
