Style layers in a scene

In Layer style , you can explore layers through smart mapping styles and discover themes and patterns in the data. For example, you can visualize average income levels in communities with continuous colors and sizes. You can change styles for point, line, polygon, 3D object, and point cloud layers.

To style a layer, complete the following steps:

1. Verify that you are signed in to the portal and open Scene Viewer.
2. On the Designer toolbar, click Layer Manager to open the Layer Manager pane.
3. Click the layer name or Options and select Layer style to open a layer.
4. Choose a style for the layer.
   The available styles in the gallery depend on the layer type.

   Note:

   • Scene Viewer doesn't allow modifying styles when layers have numerical data and were previously styled with classified graduated symbols or classified graduated colors.
   • When sharing a web layer, ArcGIS Pro uses Cartographic Information Model (CIM) symbols by default which are not supported in Scene Viewer. To ensure the layer style is supported, you must check the Use symbol types compatible with all clients check box under the Configurations tab.

5. Optionally, for feature and scene layers with attribute values, select attributes under Choose main attribute to visualize to see additional available styles.
   • If you choose <none>, styles that allow you to apply single colors to all the features are available.
   • If you choose an attribute, additional styles that allow you to use colors and sizes by attribute, such as the Counts and Amounts and Type styles, are available.

   Note:

   • Not all styles are available for each attribute. In many cases, Scene Viewer identifies one of the drawing styles by default based on the nature of the data in the layer, and the style automatically is applied in the scene.
   • The Choose main attribute to visualize option isn't available for point cloud styles.

6. Click Select to apply the style to the layer in the scene.
7. Click Options to open the style.
8. Style the layer.
9. On the Designer toolbar, click Save to save the style changes to the scene.
10. Click Done or Cancel to return to the previous pane.
11. Click Done or Cancel again to return to the Layer Manager pane.
