Creating 3D WebMap Journals

IonutAlixandroae · ‎03-19-2015

Hello,

I saw this app ( http://story.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/?appid=4c77a56bbcd743b69232cf3fd9c7a61c ) and I was wondering which are the steps to create a WebMap Journal but instead of having a web map, to have a scene?

Thanks !

Ionut

This app is actually pretty simple. Instead of loading a web map in the main stage, you should choose to load a web page. Then, you can embed the web scene into that section. We recommend using the “stretch” position when you configure the page. Also, unselect the “Unload when reader navigates away” as this will cause the scene to be reloaded every time you return to that section. One more trick, add “&ui=min” to the end of the web scene url so you don’t get the login banner on top. For example:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=91b46c2b162c48dba264b2190e1dbcff&ui=min

Instead of

http://www.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=91b46c2b162c48dba264b2190e1dbcff
