I have layers in Scene (ArcGIS Pro) and when I turn labels on they do not display. Does anyone have any tips and tricks to share on how to display labels in a Scene?
Thanks much-
Kate
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately they still do not render. I am certain that the label has been enabled in the Labelling tab, and the limits are set to none. Sometimes I have to restart to program several times before the labels finally do render. Any other suggestions?
**After experimentation, I noticed what was wrong. My method was to keep the actual polygon item in the 2D layer, and make a copy of the polygon to place in the 3D layer for labeling purposes. I would turn off the polygon stroke in the symbol properties format window so there was not a redundant polygon. But the labels would not render. When I turned back on the polygon stroke, the labels would return.
My workaround is to make the color of my 3D polygon layer colorless.
Maybe...you are encountering a known limitation:
Problem: Labels are not displayed in a 3D scene
BUG-000086547: 2D layers cannot be labeled in a 3D scene in ArcGIS ..
The solution in the links above is to drag the layer to the 3D layers and that works fine in ArcGIS Pro. However when I try to create a mobile scene package with the layers in the 3D layers I get unknown errors which I did not get when the layer was in the 2D layers. Is there any other way to get the labels to display in the scene?

I had the same issue, where labels would not show up in a scene if the symbology for the fill and outline were set to 'no color', even if the labels for the exact same layer layer were visible in a 2D map. Changing either the fill or outline to having color in the scene, even if set to 100% transparent, fixed the labeling problem. Strange behavior, but it works. Thanks for the tip, Jeanette!
