Multipatch instancing

[NarayanHamde]

Hi, I am trying to create a multipatch layer. Like many of the 3D softwares use instancing of 3D feature which reduces the total polycount, I was wondering if there is any way that we can use the instancing in arcgis pro. I have thousands of features which are duplicated. They are exactly the same. Arcgis treats them as individual geometries, which increases the loading and rendering time. I want to find a way to use instancing without losing every features attributes data and create a scene layer package of it.

Hi 

I understand your problem. To make it faster, you should not use multipatch layer. Better you use point Feature class and put every feature as a single point. In the symbology settings import your 3D model as a marker symbol. This tells ArcGIS to "instance" the shape so it loads the geometry only one time but shows it in thousands of places. All your attribute data stays safe with each point. Then, use create point scene layer content to make the SLPK. This makes the file very small and the rendering very smooth.
