The scene layers team has been hard at work adding functionality for ArcGIS Pro 2.4. Let\u2019s take a look and see what we\u2019ve been working on!<\/p>\n

I3S Version 1.7<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the 2.4 release, 3D object and integrated mesh scene layers have been upgraded to version 1.7.<\/a> The upgraded scene layer enables more efficient access to nodes leading to improved performance and scalability of these services. Testing on medium and large integrated mesh and 3D object scene layers has shown an improvement in draw performance by 2 to 4 times in ArcGIS Pro and the Scene Viewer.<\/p>\n

Version 1.7 scene layer packages can be created using the Create 3D Object Scene Layer Package<\/a> tool. Support for point and building scene layer version 1.7 will be available in ArcGIS Pro 2.5.<\/p>\n

I3S Validation and Conversion<\/strong><\/p>\n

For 3rd party data providers and ArcGIS users, there is a new tool that validates existing scene layer packages (slpk). Detailed information is provided on whether or not the slpk conforms to the I3S specification. These slpks can also be upgraded to the latest version 1.7 for 3D object and integrated mesh slpks. Check out the I3S Github repository<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":540822,"id":540822,"title":"IM_17","filename":"IM_17.gif","filesize":1038923,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/whats-new-with-scene-layers-arcgis-pro-2-4\/im_17","alt":"Integrated Mesh Scene Layer Version 1.7","author":"7491","description":"","caption":"Integrated Mesh Scene Layer Version 1.7","name":"im_17","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":534652,"date":"2019-06-25 20:25:16","modified":"2019-06-25 20:25:40","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":634,"height":545,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","medium-width":304,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","medium_large-width":634,"medium_large-height":545,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","large-width":634,"large-height":545,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","1536x1536-width":634,"1536x1536-height":545,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","2048x2048-width":634,"2048x2048-height":545,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17-541x465.gif","card_image-width":541,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IM_17.gif","wide_image-width":634,"wide_image-height":545}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Enhanced Point Scene Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Point scene layers have been enhanced to reduce the amount of thinning that occurred at each level of detail (LOD) in ArcGIS Pro. Previously points were aggressively thinned to maintain performance but enhancements at this release allow more points to display at all LODs.<\/p>\n

Default Vertical Coordinate System<\/strong><\/p>\n

When creating a scene layer package, the new default vertical coordinate system is EGM96. This is a global gravity-based vertical coordinate system the doesn\u2019t require the use of the ArcGIS Pro coordinate system data separate install. We do recommend installing this from my.esri.com if you frequently require vertical coordinate system transformations. WGS84\/EGM96 is supported in ArcGIS Pro and the Scene Viewer. Vertical coordinate systems<\/a> are used to define height or depth values and ensure proper Z unit conversions.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
