Airport sign points can be displayed as 3D objects using procedural symbology in a scene in ArcGIS Pro. The ArcGIS Aviation Airports product files, available on My Esri, contain a 3D support folder with procedural rule package files.
The included RunwaySign18C_Point.rpk file is a procedural marker rule file, which will render the ArcGIS Aviation Airports 18B AirportSign feature class based on the following fields:
- AIRPORTSIGNDIRECTION
- AIRPORTSIGNHEIGHTVALUE
- AIRPORTSIGNMSGBACK
- AIRPORTSIGNMSGFRONT
