Maintain symbol integrity: Publish from ArcGIS Pro, view in Scene Viewer

To enhance data visualization and user experience, I advocate for the comprehensive compatibility of feature layer symbols published from ArcGIS Pro within Scene Viewer, guaranteeing their consistent rendering and functionality.

The symbol settings for the data are already set in ArcGIS Pro, but when you want to use them in Scene View, you have to set them up again every time.

This means that when you create a map in ArcGIS Pro and add it to a scene in Scene Viewer, the symbols used to represent the data may not be the same as the symbols used in Map Viewer. This is because Scene Viewer does not support all of the symbol properties that are available in ArcGIS Pro.

As a result, you may have to manually set the symbol properties in Scene Viewer to match the symbols used in Map Viewer. This can be time-consuming and tedious, especially if you have a large number of layers.

Thanks for your post @Watchanun .

This is correct, Scene Viewer (and more in general the 3D capabilities on the web) supports fewer symbol properties than ArcGIS Pro and the 2D rendering capabilities we offer on the web.

As for the example you show in the screenshots above, may you be able to share the ArcGIS Pro project and/or the published weblayer or webmap with us? This allows us to better understand the limitations you're experiencing.

You will see the picture when opened in Map Viewer it opens normally. However, when opened in Scene Viewer for the first time, it will not display the symbols and show a yellow warning that it cannot be displayed normally. So we have to go and set the symbols ourselves again in that layer on the Scene Viewer.

But actually, Scene Viewer can be set to display it. It's not that it doesn't have compatible symbols or doesn't match. I don't know why it doesn't read and display it properly from the beginning.

Thanks @Watchanun 

Could you provide the repro case to us? This would help to analyze the difference in behavior you are reporting between Map Viewer and Scene Viewer. 

Thanks

@Watchanun - Would you be able to share the data and ArcGIS Pro project with us?
