Could some please advise me on how to get point (Shapefile) labels from floating around all willy nilly and appear as they are heading together, floating and bunched up in an ArcGIS Pro 3D Scene. The values in my screenshot are depth sounding points where I made the point icon transparent so just the point label (numeric Z depth value) displays.
The point layer that I wanted to display was download from a NOAA GIS data portal as a Shapefile. To get the point labels to display in the ArcGIS Scene I have to drag the feature class to the 3D group in because when I drag them down to the 2D group, no point label display and the ability to add/edit the labels is deactivated.
The labels look okay when zoomed out but if I zoom down to seafloor level in the 3D Scene, the labels appear to float all over place or group together in free roaming packs that do not care where they are supposed to be, which is on top of the transparent point. I would like for the labels to just lay on the seafloor flat instead of standing up vertically and levitating into thin air when moving towards them in the scene.
Where is the setting to make them lay flat on the seafloor and play dead as a 2D label does?
