Layer cannot be added in scene: invalid or missing parameters

EmmanuelVassilakis

I am trying to add an orthophoto map into a scene in arcgis online. The file (img) is hosted in a gis server outside esri and it was published into a service that also contains another two similar maps.

The file was added into ArcGIS Online using the following path: Add item (from My Content) > From the web > paste to url. In My Content is displayed as a feature layer.

When I try to add it in a scene i receive the message that the layer cannot be added because of invalid or missing parameters.

Any ideas?

P.S. If I add the whole service (all the 3 maps) then the map is opening correctly in the scene

so the reason why it gets blocked is because the map service when added at the individual level MapServer/0 creates a feature layer. With a raster type map service this will create a feature layer with a null geometry and fail to add. When you add the service at just MapServer it creates a map image layer and that is supported with the raster type layers in a map service and why it works in the map and scene viewers.

If you want each individual layer into a scene you can create tiled image services and bring those into the scene viewer or publish up each layer in the map service individually.

Hope this helps
