The ArcGIS Online basemaps that use raster hillshades demonstrate this very concept. If you're unable to combine two services, it's likely that they're incompatible in another way.</P> <P>256x256 is a in inefficient size for vector tile workflows. Since the content is vector and there are optimizations when the tile contains more data, 512 x 512 is a good compromise between size and efficiency.</P> Fri, 25 Oct 2024 01:11:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/256-x-256-as-possible-tile-size-for-vector-tile/idc-p/1552179#M32544 CraigWilliams 2024-10-25T01:11:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/256-x-256-as-possible-tile-size-for-vector-tile/idc-p/1640559#M35789 <P>Closing as we have no plans to implement this and 512 tiles can be used with 256 tiles as mentioned above.</P> Fri, 08 Aug 2025 20:43:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/256-x-256-as-possible-tile-size-for-vector-tile/idc-p/1640559#M35789 CraigWilliams 2025-08-08T20:43:14Z
