Thanks to share your Workarround to force TerrainShadows using transparent multipatch fishnet, which can be usefull for small projects or corse Terrain I guess.  But still a workaround with downsides, its correct that we would like to see the Terrain/Elevation Layers to cast shadows similar to multipatch... ...

Thanks for the hint @Pål_Herman_Sund ! Well - Terrain is now better shaded respecting the Daylight settings, but still does not cast (hard) shadows like Buildings. Only the surface is darker shaded depending on slope and sun position. This valley remains in direct sunlight, altough the shadow of the hill should be visible on the lower Building and opposite hillside.   The two Buildings on top of the hill cast their lonely shadows to the opposite hillside, but without the shadow of the terrain it looks awkward...    and the Building in the valley still seems to be in the sun which fools solar analysis.   Esri ist on the right way, but not there, yet ... ...

Great, thanks for the quick response! (However, I cant see any changes if app loads until now, hope you can give us sunny weather by default, soon 😉 ... View more

Yes, same here: we miss sun shadows from terrain in deep valleys, too, both in Arcgis Online Webscenes and  Arcgis-Pro! ... View more

Same here: Please add to slice tool to the 3d Widgets for usage in Arcgis-Online 3D-WebApps! We Slicing trough Bim-Models or just to get 3D-Profiles in 3D-Scenes is a great benefit to our Users! ... View more

Another down side using 2d map environment to configure pop ups: it is save to the feature layer, so only one pop up configuration is possible to pass through 3d scenes this way! If we need different pop ups from the same data source, we have to duplicate data, which dosnt make sense. It would be much more comfortable to be able to configure and save Pop ups within the 3D Scene! ... View more

Well, I tested the Workflow and benefits of publishing Scene Layers from associated Feature Layers. Good things first: Workflow is more streamline to update or edit associated features and just rebuild cache. Its also possible to configure Pop-Ups of the associated feature Layer in 2d map, which are passed trough to 3D-Scenes (for now scene layers without associated features Layers show all attributes and are not configurable, yet). And its possible to use features for Search-Widgets. Downsides are: - online caching consumes credits:  1 credit per 1000/5000 multipatch feature, which is a lot for a city with 150.000 buildings, 1mio. trees and other things. However, it might be worth to invest... - feature storage consumes much more credits then slpk-pakages. Multipatch buildings need a lot more storage space the usual 2d-features, so we would end up to spend about 400 times more credit points if we would store same data as multipatch features instead of scene layer packages. This is a no go! - Pop up configuration needs to be saved to the feature Layer after set up in 2d map in order to be used in scenes, so only one configuration per layer is possible. If we need different pop up configuration for different scenes, we need to duplicate the feature Layer, which dosnt make sense (a view would be nice to have or configuration of Pop ups directly in 3d scenes, preferably using scene layer attributes directly instead off associated features). For now, the benefits do not justify spending so much more credits! (espacially the feature storage of multipatch data) @Esri: please correct me, if Im wrong... ... View more
