We acknowledge there are a wide array of different issues with the Plane system, but even among users in the same industries there are wildly differing opinions on how it should be changed for the better, and even more difference of opinion between users who work in unrelated fields. I need examples (preferably with screenshots or screen recordings) of what you are doing when the Plane system gets in your way or slows you down. Click the Basemap button in the viewer tools on the right.I need to ask all those of you who struggle with Screen Plane and Layer Plane to detail for me your use cases and how you wish we handled things instead.Now that you have all your layers in the same spatial reference you can create a local scene in the scene viewer to show your buildings with elevation. A scene layer service is created in Portal for ArcGIS 10.4 (see sharing a web scene layer for more information). Publish your buildings layer as a scene layer.When you publish a scene layer from a local scene in Pro, during the caching process the scene layer will reproject to the coordinate system you set in the local scene.) Set the local scene coordinate system to match the spatial reference of the basemap and elevation.Add your building multipatch dataset to the scene.

Create a local scene in Pro (see author a web scene for more information).

Use ArcGIS Pro 1.2 and Portal for ArcGIS 10.4, to publish your buildings as a scene layer with the same spatial reference as the basemap and elevation. Once you have the base layers in the same spatial reference, you can create your building scene layer. You can configure the basemap gallery and add this custom basemap to the scene viewer which matches the elevation layer. The basemap and elevation layer must be in the same spatial reference and have the same tiling scheme which satisfies the scene viewer tiling scheme requirements. Therefore, you need to add an elevation layer to be able to show terrain with elevation (see publish and elevation image service for more information). In local scenes, basemaps with a local spatial reference don’t include elevation as they do in global scenes.

All layers and basemap must be in the same spatial reference.

You need to provide all layers including elevation.

When working with local scenes in the scene viewer consider the following: This means that if you have a multipatch dataset in a local spatial reference of downtown buildings in your city, for example, you can now add them to a scene in the scene viewer and share with your organization or the public. With the release of the Portal for ArcGIS 10.4 and ArcGIS Pro 1.2, scene layers can be published from Pro to Portal and added to a local scene. It is now possible to create a local scene with scene layers in the scene viewer. It is best to use local scenes when you already have data in a local spatial reference or your project requires that all your data be in a specific local spatial reference. With a local scene in the scene viewer, you can project local data on a planar surface in a different spatial reference than Web Mercator. This post focuses on local scenes with scene layers. We hope these posts will help you work more efficiently, produce better 3D visualizations, and really harness the power of your 2D and 3D data with the scene viewer. In the previous post, we offered some tips about the basemap gallery and your scene title and icon.
