How to publish raster DSM in 3D to ArcGIS online?

Question

Hello everybody,

I try to pusblish a raster DSM in data format tif to AGOL. DSM visualizes tree heights.

In ArcGIS Pro I created a 3D object with this instruction: ArcGIS Pro 3D rasters? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange

Now, I try to publish this result to ArcGIS online. My only solution is to publish the layer as ground elevation layer. But I want to display tree heights, so it is not a solution for me.

Do I have the possibility to get a 3D view in ArcGIS online, as I see it in ArcGIS Pro?

Thank you for every help!

Hi A. S.‌,

Russell Roberts‌, let me know that you can visualize this DSM layer in Scene Viewer hosted in ArcGIS Online. You can publish the layer using Manage Tile Cache tool and then export the tile cache, creating a TPK. You can then upload the TPK to ArcGIS Online and publish as a tile layer. This process is outlined in this blog: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/3d-gis/authoring-3d-layers-and-creating-web-scenes-in-arcgis-onl…

Keep in mind that the layer should be publisshed in the same spatial reference and tiling scheme as the basemap being used in Scene Viewer.

Thanks,
