https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/update-webscene-with-new-scene-layer-3d-object/m-p/1106962#M6740 <P>Hi, I'm trying to update a webscene with a new Scene Layer - 3D Object (hosted). This <A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/python/sample-notebooks/using-and-updating-gis-content/#Using-and-updating-a-web-scene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">example</A> explains how to make a subset of the existing "operational layers" and update a new webscene using this subset and the update method on the webscene object.</P><P>However, I want to add an existing layer, and for that it seems I need the json representation for this layer in a way that the webscene operational layers can handle. I have tried to use the json from the layeritem properties method. This can not be added directly. Maybe I can take parts of that dictionary and build a new that has the correct properties for the webscene, but it seems rather complex and not very robust. Any pointers on best practice to make this work?</P> Wed, 13 Oct 2021 09:11:12 GMT Torbjørn_EidsheimBøe 2021-10-13T09:11:12Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/update-webscene-with-new-scene-layer-3d-object/m-p/1106962#M6740 <P>Hi, I'm trying to update a webscene with a new Scene Layer - 3D Object (hosted).
