Publish 3D Services

In order to be used within 3D web applications a couple of layers must be published that are created using the Multipatch Geometry Type.

Airspace Control Order

1. Ensuring that you have successfully completed Step 7 of the Copy Sample Data to section, your AirC2_ACO_POLYGON feature class should contain a number of features representing the current Airspace Control Means derived from the Airspace Control Order.
2. Open ArcCatalog.
3. Open the Airspace Management Tools toolbox in tools folder.
4. Double-click the Convert Airspace Control Order to 3D script.
5. Specify the following parameters:
• Source: The AirC2_ACO_Polygon feature class generated using the Process Airspace Control Order Script within your Enterprise Geodatabase.
• Elevation Model: The DEM source raster, which provides the elevation values for the calculation. If you want to generate features that are above sea level (flat top and bottom) then a raster with a constant value of 0 is needed, detailed instructions on how to create this are contained within the tool help.

Note

The projection of the DEM must be WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere coordinate system (ESPG: 102100) to match the projection of the base mapping within portal.

• Target Workspace: The target workspace to write the output file to, it will automatically be named AirC2_ACO_Polygon3D.
6. Click OK to run the tool.

Warning

This script can take some time to process depending on the number of features in the ACO and the resolution of the DEM used.

7. Once the script has completed open the ArcGIS Pro project created in the Publish 2D section.
8. Create a new scene.
9. Add the AirC2_ACO_POLYGON_3D multipatch feature class to the scene.
10. Apply desired symbology.
11. Share the Layer as a Web Layer with the following properties:
• Name: AirC2_ACO_POLYGON_3D (scene layers are published as a hosted feature service so no need to prefix service name with the AirC2 folder).
• Layer Type: Scene.
• Summary: Scene displaying the Airspace control means derived from the Airspace Control Order symbolized by the control means type. Used with the AirC2 3D App.
• Tags: AirC2, ACO, Airspace Control Order, Air Plan, Air Operations, Military

Target Threat Areas / Range Domes (Optional)

Optionally you can create 3D threat areas around each of your target locations, to achieve this use the Range Dome Analysis template.
