I am fighting an issue that basically could be resolved with ONE change in Portal/Online:
Both should, as Pro does and CityEngine can set, allow to set Objects to ground as a default.
I know this could be an improvement request, but maybe I am doing something initially wrong ... so I describe:
My data starts out in CityEngine and there I align it to elevation/terrain that I obtain from ArcGIS Online. By a rule I extrude and texture the elements and then to explain create Multipatches from it (exporting to a Scene layer right away does not do anything different in the result.
When I load this data into an ArcGIS Pro Scene, it does not align with the Ground. So my first assumption:
This is how it looks like after loading it in Pro in an area that is rugged:
In Pro it is easy to fix that - just change the elevation settings to "on the ground" ... and here you go!
Now I can create a Scene Layer Package from the data (as mentioned above -I could create that Package from CityEngine - but that does not behave different) and upload to ArcGIS Online. Not many settings there ..and the result is:
So I am back to the version with Terrain mismatch!
So to me there are two options:
Anyone any Ideas? Thanks!
In Pro when you align the buildings to the ground use the Layer 3D To Feature Class. Then Create the SLPK you will upload to AGOL or publish a multipatch feature layer and create a scene layer from that in AGOL.
