Share a scene layer package

Scene layer packages (.slpk) contain a cache of a building, multipatch, point, or point cloud dataset. Scene layer packages can be published as web scene layers to ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, and Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 or later with ArcGIS Data Store.

Legacy:

In ArcGIS Pro 1.3, scene layer packages were saved with the .spk extension. Scene layer packages with the .spk and .slpk extensions are supported in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.

Note:

Web scene layers created from scene layer packages that contain point cloud layers cannot be displayed in the ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 or Portal for ArcGIS scene viewer.

Create and share a scene layer package

There are a number of tools that create scene layer packages. The table below lists the corresponding geoprocessing tools with supported input datasets.

Input dataset	Corresponding geoprocessing tool
Multipatch feature layer, layer file	Create 3D Object Scene Layer Package
Building layer, layer file	Create Building Scene Layer Package
Open scene graph binary (OSGB) file, a folder containing OSGB files	Create Integrated Mesh Scene Layer Package
LAS, zLAS, LAZ files, LAS dataset, layer file, a folder of lidar data	Create Point Cloud Scene Layer Package
Point feature layer, layer file	Create Point Scene Layer Package

To create a scene layer package, follow these steps:

1. In the Geoprocessing pane, open the tool listed above corresponding to your input dataset to create a local scene layer package.
   1. Select the Input Dataset value.
   2. Specify the Output Scene Layer Package value.
   3. Specify other parameters as necessary.
2. Run the tool to create the scene layer package.
3. Share the scene layer package to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise using the Share Package tool.
