Can't add labels to linear feature service - Scene Viewer

[Veronicampbell]

Hello, I've added point and polygon feature services into a scene and have been able to turn on and configure labels under 'Layer sytle', but noticed this toggle button didn't appear for linear layers. Has anyone figured out a work around for this? Thank you

Hello @Veronicampbell 

Thanks for having reached out. Scene Viewer does not yet offer a user interface to enable and configure labels on line features. 

Adding this funcitonality to Scene Viewer is in our backlog but not yet planned for a specific release. Could you please share any insights to your workflows or use cases you are trying to solve? Understanding your specific needs helps us to prioritize our backlog. 

Please consider to use Map Viewer for labelling 2D lines and save the configuration to a layer item you can then load back into Scene Viewer and visualize there. Note, that this works only for 2D lines styles in 3D scenes and not all labeling style options available in 2D maps can be transposed seamlessly to 3D scenes. For many regular cases, this should be applicable as workaround.

Thanks,
Gianluca
