To add on to what Russell said is time enabled Scene Layers are currently on the ArcGIS Pro roadmap for the 3.1 release. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-documents/arcgis-pro-roadmap-july-2022/ta-p/1187498  thanks, Andrew ... View more

Hi David, Based on how I read the doc in the tool, the output of the NetCDF will not be suitable for a voxel layer no matter how the input data is structured. I would recommend using the Raster to NetCDF tool and in that tools doc it specifies it will format the netCDF properly.  "The tool writes variable as regularly spaced gridded data following the CF conventionsLink to CF Conventions website. Therefore, the variable in the output netCDF file is suitable for creating a voxel layer." https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/multidimension/raster-to-netcdf.htm  thanks, Andrew ...

Hi David, Unfortunately this tool will not produce an output suitable for a voxel layer. The last point on the tool help mentions this: The tool writes variables as Discrete Sample Geometry (DSG), such as points or trajectory, following the CF conventions. Since, this data is not gridded, the variables in the output netCDF file are not suitable for creating a voxel layer. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/multidimension/feature-to-netcdf.htm  Workflows for creating NetCDF data suitable for a voxel layer can be found here:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/create-a-voxel-layer.htm  thanks, Andrew ...

Thanks for the update and glad to hear everything is back up and running as it should be! regards, Andrew ... View more

I would request the support analyst pull in a technical lead who can then follow up with someone on the ArcGIS Enterprise development team. This seems like a pretty rare scenario which the ArcGIS Python API may not be designed to resolve. That's why I would recommend getting an official response through the case rather than here. thanks, Andrew ... View more

For this particular issue I would recommend reaching out to technical support so they can screenshare with you and troubleshoot better over an official case https://support.esri.com/en/  thanks, Andrew ... View more

Hi Ben, I reached out to the graphics team and logged an internal issue for the team to see what can be improved. The problem at hand is the graphics engine has to render the transparent faces in real-time since it's an extruded polygon and this can lead to sorting issues. There are display options (In layer properties display tab) that were added in previous releases to attempt to handle these cases but it's not perfect for every case and unfortunately does not seem to improve much for this case. One additional thing that I did try and seemed to improve the output considerably was run the Simplify Polygon GP tool with a 1 meter simplification tolerance. This appeared to remove most of the artifacts and hopefully this is good enough for you. You can also increase the tolerance more but at a loss of granularity. If I hear any additional feedback from the graphics team i'll be sure to post back here. thanks, Andrew   ... View more

thanks, that worked. I'm heading out for the day but i'll take a deeper look on Monday and follow up with you then. -Andrew ... View more

Looks like the data was not consolidated with the package. Can you check the "include UNC path data" option and re-share? thanks, Andrew   ... View more

Can you share the polygon layer as a layer package so I can take a deeper look on my end? ... View more

Hi, You can use the Clip geoprocessing tool to clip out portions of an integrated mesh scene layer package using a polygon feature layer.   https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/analysis/clip.htm  thanks, Andrew ... View more

I'd recommend converting it to a multipatch. Try running the Layer 3D to Feature Class tool and seeing how that output looks. thanks, Andrew ... View more

Hi, This has been implemented since the ArcGIS Pro 2.0 release. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic2849.html  thanks, Andrew ... View more

@BartFranken  The scene layer package needs to have a DateTime field that can be read by the TimeSlider so that is why it's more of an ArcGIS Pro issue as it's authored from ArcGIS Pro. As far as the time slider is concerned i'll check with the Scene Viewer team and get back to you 🙂 thanks, Andrew ... View more
