ArcScene resolution confusion

ChristopherJursa — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:13:26 GMT

Hello,

I am using ArcScene with ArcGIS 10.

I have a raster image I have krigged. Whenever I load the layer into ArcScene, it loads fine. However, when I attempt to change the symbology, the resolution of the layer becomes low as if there is an error.

I have two other rasters in different projections. Could this be the cause?

Has anyone encountered anything like this?

Try adjusting the "Quality Enhancement" setting to see if the resolution improves.

That didn't seem to help.

What type of symbology changes are you doing? Does the raster display better before changing the symbology are is it the same?

Thanks for the help so far. I don't think the quality enhancement is the issue either.

I opened a second ArcScene window and loaded the layer and had no difficulty with it. I then copied it and pasted it into the first ArcScene project. This seemed to solve the problem. It is a strange workaround though.

I think there is an issue with the projection of the data frame.

I recommend keeping all of the layers in ArcScene in the same projection. Since ArcScene is so memory intensive, there can be issues when a transformation needs to take place. Keeping the projection will prevent some of the potential display issues you are describing.
