In this blog post, I want to show you how you can use custom icons when visualizing points in the Scene Viewer. We won’t look into visualizing points with custom 3D models, because Russ already covered that in this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scene Viewer offers a wide range of icon symbols that you can choose from, but sometimes you might want to customize them a bit. For example, in 3D I like to have icons with a colored background, so you can clearly see the symbol.<\/p>\n

There are 2 ways to achieve this:<\/p>\n

1. Publish the custom icons as web styles from ArcGIS Pro. I’d advise you to do this in case you’ll need those icons in several web scenes\/web maps. This workflow is the same as in the blog post mentioned before.<\/p>\n

2. Upload the icon directly to the web scene in the symbol editor. I use this workflow quite often. Let’s look at some examples of how I used it in the past.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Custom icons with background<\/h2>\n

Calcite has about 800 icons<\/a> designed to be used as map symbols. All of them are available in the calcite GitHub repository<\/a>. Clone the repository or download it and then you’ll have the icons available to modify them or upload them to the Scene Viewer as they are.<\/p>\n

Let’s take this example for the city of Cambridge<\/a> where I added transportation, parks and points of interest to the basemap:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2456902,"id":2456902,"title":"custom-icons","filename":"custom-icons.png","filesize":1393853,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/3d-gis\/custom-icon-point-symbols-in-scene-viewer\/custom-icons","alt":"","author":"7011","description":"","caption":"","name":"custom-icons","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2455392,"date":"2024-08-12 12:49:25","modified":"2024-08-12 12:49:25","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":1377,"height":618,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":208,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":345,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","large-width":1377,"large-height":618,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","1536x1536-width":1377,"1536x1536-height":618,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","2048x2048-width":1377,"2048x2048-height":618,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons-826x371.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":371,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/custom-icons.png","wide_image-width":1377,"wide_image-height":618}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/geoxc-demox.maps.arcgis.com\/home\/webscene\/viewer.html?webscene=86a46cc6448740c8b3720ae2432010e1&ui=min"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
