Description

The Terrain 3D layer provides global elevation surface to use in ArcGIS 3D applications

What can you do with this layer?

Use this layer to visualize your maps and layers in 3D using applications like the Scene Viewer in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro. 

 Terrain 3D Images

Show me how

1) Working with Scenes in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online Scene Viewer

2) Select an appropriate basemap or use your own

3) Add your unique 2D and 3D data layers to the scene.  Your data are simply added on the elevation.  If your data have defined elevation (z coordinates) this information will be honored in the scene

4) Share your work as a Web Scene with others in your organization or the public

My 3D content was built to be shown on an *absolute height* (not relative to the ground) so now my models are being floating/dug-in by the new terrain! Please please reverse back or offer the previos terrain as it damages all of or apps! We have a GIS Day coming and this could not be a worse time to update such a fundamental resource :/

Sorry to hear that but Terrain service gets updated with highest/finest resolution lidar data quartely and it would be best to use relative to ground to avoid such scenarios.

Is this layer in reference to EGM2008 geoid?

rsnagi Item Owner commented 2 years ago Delete

The heights are orthometric and use country-specific vertical datums. e.g in US it's NAVD88, but the majority outside US/Europe is EGM2008 geoid.

Terrain 3D has always been excellent, but today and yesterday (Fri Oct 21, 2022 & Thu Oct 22, 2022) it has been very slow. Do you have any idea why it has slowed down? Do you know if/when it will be fixed? Thanks and best, Tom.
