Extrusion by Field is Disabled for Multipatch in ArcGIS Pro

[BillMacPherson]

I'm trying to extrude by a value in an attribute field for multipatch features. It seems the Extrusion options on the Appearance tab are disabled (greyed out). This is within a local Scene.

It will let me extrude the multipatch features using the 3D handle (from there I can enter a height value) but I would like to use an attribute field instead. It will let me extrude a polygon feature class using an attribute field but not the multipatch feature class.

This is not an imported scene.

I'm in ArcGIS Pro 2.5.

The multipatch layer has a horizontal and vertical spatial reference.

I've been using this as a reference Define height characteristics for layers

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill,

You can only extrude polygons, not multipatches, but this tip in the doc should help:

Thanks,
