ArcGIS Pro 2.1 - created a local scene which has three layers on top of an elevation surface (the latter is a tiled cache in ArcGIS Online). I want to share the scene with nonGIS co-workers via ArcGIS Online so they have a way to interact with the data (turn, rotate, zoom in, etc). I choose Share > Web Scene. I Analyze and get following message "Feature Layer is displaying more than 2000 features". And a warning that "extruded features will be flattened". The fishnet (see graphic attached) has 5,172 features and I need that level of detail so my colleagues can see the variation in the surface. I extruded it so there would be a "base" to give an exaggerated sense of the surface.
I've seen some very elaborate web scenes however (esri_3d's own Visualize Developments in the Gallery) that seem like they Must have feature layers with more than 2000 features in them, as well as extruded features (building footprints)?
So then I shared the layers, and got them into ArcGIS Online, but trying to add to the Scene Viewer generates the same error of having too many features.
Seems I cannot do what I hoped to then which is to share the 3d scene unless I take out some of the detail? Just want to make sure I am not missing something because again, I've seen amazing scenes that definitely appear to have more than 2000 features in any given layer....
Options?
Currently Scene Viewer does not support more than 2000 features per feature layer and extruded polygons. Both current limitations are being worked on for a future release. Can you convert the extruded polygons to multipatch and then publish that multipatch layer as a scene layer to ArGIS Online? Where you are using Pro 2.1 and you have a multipatch feature class in the 3D section this will automatically publish a scene layer for you when you share your Web Scene.
