Tutorial for Creating a Scene Layer Map Package Using the Fullerton Dataset

JeroenBloemscheer2 — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:48:42 GMT

Hello Esri Community,

I'm relatively new to ArcGIS Pro and I'm trying to learn how to create a scene layer map package (.slpk) specifically using the Fullerton dataset as an example. I've seen references to this dataset in some Esri documentation, but I can't find a step-by-step tutorial that walks through the process from start to finish.

Could anyone point me to a detailed guide, video tutorial, or even share your own steps? Here's what I'm aiming for:

Importing the Fullerton dataset into ArcGIS Pro.
Configuring it as a 3D scene layer.
Packaging it into an .slpk file for sharing or use in web scenes.

I have ArcGIS Pro 3.6 installed.

Thanks in advance! Jeroen

@JeroenBloemscheer2 - so here is a workflow I used to download/import Fullerton data into ArcGIS Pro and eventually create a *.slpk file. I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.6.x as well.

1. Go to the 3D Download Center | Fullerton, CA and download 1 or more areas in the Google Earth format (*.kmz)
2. Start ArcGIS Pro, add a new local scene and add the *.kmz to your local scene. You'll see the KML layers listed in the Content Pane. Expand it to see the Tour and Model subfolders.
3. Run the KML to Layer GP tool to get a new geodatabase that contains the multipatch feature class dataset.
4. Add a new local scene to your project and add the newly created multpatch feature class derived from Step 3 to your new local scene. Turn off the Buildings/Trees/Places and Labels layers in the 3D Layers group to see your multipatch buildings.
5. Run the Create 3D Object Scene Layer Content GP tool to create a *.slpk for sharing or use in web scenes.

I've tested this workflow in my ArcGIS Pro and it seems to work. Let me know if you have any questions!
