Share a 3D tiles layer

With ArcGIS Pro, you can share 3D tiles layers from a scene to ArcGIS Online. As with web scene layers, you can use 3D tiles layers to visualize large quantities of 3D geospatial data in a realistic way.

The following 3D tiles layer types can be shared from ArcGIS Pro:

  • 3D object
  • Integrated mesh

To share a 3D tiles layer, you must have the following:

  • An account that is part of an ArcGIS organization with the privilege to create content
