Hi,

In the ArcGIS Enterprise/Online 3D Scene viewer 3D Meshes often appear in the view over Raster/Imagery/Ground layers.  This results in some very unnatural results and is very disorienting to the user.

For example in this scene a large hill is circled in red and a mesh model is circled in blue:

When I change to a low angle the mesh is visible through the hill.  This looks really bad and is not at all how it should behave:

Can you please improve the interaction of different layers so they make sense visually.  If objects are behind something else they should not be seen:

Thanks,

Hi @Andrew--Johnson ,

Just checking in to see if you have made any advances in 3D rendering interactions between mesh models and the ground surface.

I have tested today in a custom ArcGIS Javascript webscene and the issue still persists.

Thanks,

Marc

@Marc_Graham  I've updated the status as in the product plan as we are working on supporting this functionality in ArcGIS Pro 3.6 and one of the ArcGIS Online releases this year. We are just starting the development cycle so I will give you an update later this year once I have more concrete information for you.

 

thanks,

Andrew
