ArcGIS Scene Service configuration (KB-AP039)

To configure your ArcGIS data source

  1. Click on the "synchronize structure" button in the top left.
  2. Click on the root layer.
  3. Select the vertical datum.
    • If your data is z-enabled, you will need to assign a "Vertical datum" from the drop-down menu. The vertical datum should match the datum used in your data set. Otherwise, objects in AR may appear too high or too low.
    • If the vertical data for your data set is not listed in vGIS Admin Portal, contact vGIS support.
  4. Assign layer groups
    • Layer groups organize objects so that vGIS users can turn multiple objects on and off at once. For example, if your data set contains water, sewer, and storm water assets, you may create Water, Sewer, and Storm Water layer groups to combine related assets in just three groups. You can always create more layer groups later.

You can always create more layer groups later.
    • Adding Layers: To add a new layer group, click on the global "+" sign on the top left corner of the portal and select the Layer Group option. Complete the setup wizard and click "Save". To learn more about Layer Groups and how and why to apply them, follow this link.
  6. Add data source to a team
    • Data sources need to be enabled for teams before they can be visualized in the vGIS App. Data sources can be added to a team in two ways:
      • From the Data Source configuration screen >> Use the Teams tab to enable the data source for a specific Team/Project.
      • From the Teams/Projects menu >> Create or select an existing Team/project. Use the Data Sources tab to enable the specific data sources needed for this team.
    • To learn more about managing Teams/Projects, follow this link.
  7. Once done, click "Update" in the upper right corner, followed by "Process Data".
