ArcGIS Online trouble with 3D extrusion in ArcScene

I'm having difficulty viewing my Feature Class in Scene Viewer where my saved symbology is not appearing as 3D Extruded, but rather as 2D. I have a Feature Class uploaded to my ArcGIS Online account and opened it in Map Viewer. Here, I was able to apply my desired symbology and save. When I view this Feature Class in Scene Viewer, by symbology is correct, but I cannot view it as 3D Extruded. If I change the Symbols option from "Original Symbols" to "Change Symbols", I'm able to view my data in 3D, however I lose my symbology.

How can I keep my symbology and view it as 3D in Scene Viewer?

Here are a couple screen captures to help illustrate my issue:

Yup I can see the scene layers and feature layers and see the issue you are seeing. We are looking into it. Could you share one more thing to the group - the source data you published the feature layer from. This could be a zipped GDB or Service Definition depending on how you published it.

Thanks!

Judging by what you posted they are from 3D Shapefiles? If you can share the zipped 3D Shapefiles as well that would be great.

Thanks!

Okay, I’ve added the zipped shapefiles to the group. Again, I greatly appreciate all your help!

looks like they are feature layers still .. do you see on the right hand side of the feature layer item Created From which will have a link to the source data(zipped shp, gdb or .sd) and share that to the group

Thanks!

Thanks! So with 3D shapefiles we do have an issue we are investigating with attributes being not stored in the cache of the scene layer which ends up reflecting the issue we see here with the symbols not updating. If you convert your 3D Shapefile into a feature class and zip that gdb or share it from ArcMap/Pro you will get a feature layer and scene layer that works as you expect. I did a simple export features on the shapefile in ArcMap to create the feature class and uploaded that which worked out. I can share the zipped gdb with you if you want.

Okay, thanks for looking into this! Sure, if you wouldn’t mind sharing that file I’d appreciate it!

So if I’m understanding you correctly, I shouldn’t convert my Feature Class to 3D in ArcScene? Sorry, this is all new to me!

1. Add feature class to ArcScene (I don’t have Pro)

2. Extrude polygon

3. Export Feature Class and zip

4. Upload to AGOL

5. Publish hosted scene layer

6. View in Scene
