Uploading 3D models from CityEngine to ArcGIS online

Question

Hi there!

We are trying to upload & publish 3D models that are generated in CityEngine to ArcGIS online and add them to a scene layer. We have trouble uploading due to the number of projects (>25K). Any recommendations about how to proceed more effectively? Ideally, would prefer to have them all on one layer but with an ability to provide access to a subset of them.

hello  @MuthuSampath

Thank you for your question. The CityEngine Scene Layer Package (SLPK) exporter cannot combine multiple exports. It optimizes data from a single export only. Therefore, to create a single Scene Layer from multiple projects, the data must be combined into a single scene. This is only doable until a certain size and is depending on the hardware available. For huge area, it might make sense to assign the data to grid tiles and create Scene Layers in a grid layout.
