Viewing your web scenes in the Scene Viewer Once the layer properties have been configured click on Share and the packaging and publishing process will begin. Here I adjusted the elevation layer level of detail down to level 19 and the same for the tile layer created. You can adjust the level of detail by right clicking on the layers being published and clicking on Configure Web layer properties. I also adjusted the color ramp used from a grayscale to green-red color ramp.ĪrcGIS Pro will auto-suggest the level of detail for the elevation and tile layers.
Having this operational layer added will help give reference to the elevation layer we are publishing. I then added the raster named “Before” to the scene and have the scene clipped to the extent of the data. I did this to help keep focus on the layers being published in this blog. In the scene I removed the Esri provided world elevation and basemap layers. To begin I have an empty scene but you can also start off with the supplied map package provided here.
Everything can now be published with one click. You no longer have to publish the elevation layer separately from your scene and use GP tools to generate a tile package. Saint Helens would have have looked like before that massive eruption.ĪrcGIS Pro 2.3 has made publishing hosted elevation layers to ArcGIS Online even easier. I am going to use historical elevation data from the USGS and publish it to ArcGIS Online to create a hosted elevation layer. Helens erupted and drastically changed the landscape of the area.

How to Publish a Hosted Elevation Layer to ArcGIS Online
DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL ARCGIS UPDATE
This blog is an update to that July 2016 release because publishing just got easier! These elevation layers can be used across the platform in applications like Scene Viewer, ArcGIS Pro, web applications using the 4.x JS API and in ArcGIS Earth. We initially introduced support for publishing hosted elevation layers to ArcGIS Online back in July 2016. Elevation layers could also be published to an on-premise ArcGIS Server. You can leverage your hosted elevation layers in ArcGIS Online along with from Esri-provided world elevation layers that covered land terrain and ocean depths. Elevation layers can be used as a surface that provide base heights for other layers in your scenes. The raster elevation model you create from elevation data sources can then be used to publish your elevation layer. Elevation layers are composed of data coming from LIDAR, photogrammetry, spot, or contour sources. Elevation layers can help with 3D visualizations by creating relief in your 3D scene.
