Map frame became monochrome

WilliamYu811

Greetings,

 

I'm using the ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2,

my map frame became whole monochrome after I saved the edits of features.

I don't think I've changed the color style or display settings.

And I noticed the "visual effect" button cannot be canceled.

The "effects" under "feature layer" was keeping deafult.

 

Here's the screenshot:

Openstreetmap and the polygon feature which was set on symbology also became monochrome.

Please leave me a massage if you know any solution of this situation.

 

Sincerely,

Hi Teng-Wei,

Thanks for posting this. That result is super-unexpected. The visual effects are only meant for 3D views (which is why that set of controls on the ribbon are disabled for your 2D view).

After some digging, I did find a way to get to that same state --> open a 3D scene view, enable the Black-and-White visual effect, and then convert the scene to a 2D map.  The visual effect option is brought over to the map and (like it was for you) it cannot be toggled off through the UI.

The property belongs to the map, so one (simple) way to get back to a 'color map' is to add a new map to your project, and then copy-paste your layers over to the new map. A bit draconian, but it'll work.

I am interested in how you got your map into the black-and-white state (so we can make sure other users don't also run into it). I'm hoping you can help us here.

Did you use the convert-scene-to-map workflow at all?

If not, do you have any ideas what steps you were using when the display changed?

Thanks!
