Can you export a scene from ArcGIS Pro to vector format?

For example, when you export 2d maps, the linework is vectorized and you are able to select each line and change the color and thickness. I’ve tried exporting my scene (building outlines with no shadows and park shape outlines) to PDF and it is still a flat image. I also tried exporting to SVG and SVGZ, but it comes out blank.

In the end, I would like to be edit the outlines/polygons in Adobe Illustrator.

Same question here. Can anyone help with the advice?

Same question on this more recent post.

Am beginning to wonder if this functionality is not built in, though it seems weird that ArcGIS Pro would include AIX/SVG as options for scene exports.

Any workaround found here?

Tagging @SarahBell and @JeremyWright for exposure 🙂

I would encourage everyone asking for this functionality to review the discussion here https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-mapping-questions/scene-exporting-to-image-instead-of-vectors-in-svg/td-p/1229801

If you are experiencing a situation in which the scene _does not draw at all_ in the exported SVG - that sounds like a bug and should be reported (and the repro case shared) to Esri Support.
