3D scene edge rendering

KevinMayall — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 13:22:11 GMT

Does ArcGIS Pro have a setting for edge rendering in 3D? I'm looking at this blog post:

https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/story-maps/3d-gis/using-3d-data-to-understand-hurricane-patterns/

I see it is available in the AGOL Scene Viewer to choose between solid and sketch lines.

So far the closest I can find is a Mesh symbol for a color with edges in the ArcGIS 3D symbol style. It looks like it is just including a stroke symbol for a multipatch layer.

Hi Kevin,

To my knowledge ArcGIS Pro doesn't have anything similar to the solid and sketch line options viewable in the ArcGIS Online Scene Viewer. As you mentioned already, for multipatches the only symbology option we have that would come close to this are the mesh symbols with edges. Even in these symbols we can only change the color of the edge and not shift it to a different kind of stroke. I also took a look to see if there was anything additional with 3D Object Layers to ensure this wasn't specific to multipatches, but unfortunately the same symbology options are available here as well.

There's reference to these options in the ArcGIS JavaScript API, but this seems to rely on having published scene layers as well: https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/layers-scenelayer-edges/
