      Now, we come into an interesting issue. Doing this will sometimes have elevation issues which will have the model either intersecting with or be completely below the elevation. We’ll fix that here, so it’ll be able to be uploaded to ArcGIS Online in a later step!<\/p>\n

      8. With your newly changed elevation multipatch<\/strong>, go to your Geoprocessing tools and search for Layer 3D to Feature Class.<\/strong>

          1. In your ArcGIS Urban Model, open your existing Project<\/strong> or Create a New Project.<\/strong><\/li>\n
          2. Once in the Project Editor, click on the Configure\u00a0Scenarios button<\/strong> (denoted by the …<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
          3. Choose your desired Scenario<\/strong> and under Design Visualization,\u00a0<\/strong>choose your uploaded\u00a0Scene Layer<\/strong> and press\u00a0OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          4. Press OK<\/strong> again and go back into the Urban view<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            To add it into your Plan:<\/p>\n

              \n
