Integrated Mesh Modifications<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 At the ArcGIS Pro 2.6 release, we added functionality that allows you to modify<\/a> an integrated mesh scene layer. An integrated mesh<\/a> scene layer is a continuous meshed surface capturing a current state of an area or city. As it is often expensive to recreate large meshes, you may want to alter the mesh or bring other GIS content alongside the integrated mesh without re-creating the mesh and this new functionality allow you to do that.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":947041,"id":947041,"title":"ClipNYC","filename":"ClipNYC.gif","filesize":1448353,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/3d-gis\/whats-new-with-scene-layers-arcgis-pro-2-6\/clipnyc","alt":"modification clip operations","author":"7491","description":"","caption":"Clip Modification","name":"clipnyc","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":939021,"date":"2020-07-24 20:11:22","modified":"2020-07-24 20:15:05","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":600,"height":400,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","medium-width":392,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":400,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","large-width":600,"large-height":400,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":400,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":400,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","card_image-width":600,"card_image-height":400,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ClipNYC.gif","wide_image-width":600,"wide_image-height":400}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

\u00a0 \u00a0 Use clip<\/strong> to remove a portion of the mesh. For example, expose underground utility lines at a construction site. Use mask<\/strong> to remove all parts of the mesh outside of the polygon modification. For example, only show one neighborhood in a city. Use a replace<\/strong> modification to flatten part of the mesh in order show a proposed building to stakeholders. Integrated mesh modification provides a quick way to modify your mesh and share it out to a wider audience to ArcGIS Online with support coming in the next release for ArcGIS Enterprise.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Integrated mesh draping<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 At 2.6, draping layers on integrated meshes is now supported. An integrated mesh draws as a 3D layer in the 3D category of a scene. When an integrated mesh layer is added to a scene, it will supersede the ground and basemap of that scene. Any layers that have an elevation property<\/a> set to on the ground<\/strong> draw on the ground as well as on the integrated mesh. If a layer has an offset applied or is set at a height relative to the ground, that layer will continue to draw based on the ground only.<\/p>\n

In the example below you can see a fire perimeter in Yosemite National Park. Draping allows better situational awareness in 3D. Combine 2D and 3D layers to derive more information by better visualizing your operational layers together. Best of all this scene can be authored in ArcGIS Pro and then shared to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 and shared out to the public.<\/p>\n

Currently, labels display directly on top of the building and billboard facing the camera as you navigate the scene.

Validate scene layer tool<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The validate scene layer tool has been enhanced to use the I3S\u00a0 validator<\/a>.
