3D vertical grid not showing

CyrielleLaurent1 — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 21:23:37 GMT

Hi all,

I need to display a vertical grid in ArcPro. As you can see on the screen shot below the grid option doesn't give the chance to click the vertical grid. I have both 2D and 3D layers in my project.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

The reference grid—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

They are available in 3D local scenes. Have you checked the link above?

In a 2D map, the Reference Grid is also 2D and cannot be elevated above the map. In a 3D Scene/Globe, the Reference Grid UI updates for a vertical and horizontal reference grid. Convert your 2D map to a 3D Scene/Globe and see the difference.

Hi Robert,

I am already in a local scene and when I click convert, it only offers me to convert to a map, which isn't what I need.

It looks like your Reference Grid is drawing below your data. In the Scene, click the Reference Grid icon to the right of the scale and change your elevation to be slightly higher than the highest point in your DEM.

Hi Dan,

I have seen that web page. I am in a local scene, it doesn't specify 3D scene but there is such a thing as a 2D scene. I am definitely not using a map.

That's a good point, I've changed that. Thanks
