Manage scene layers

You can enable data export from a scene layer. When you enable the ability to export data, the scene layer can be used as input for geoprocessing tools. This setting is not supported for voxel scene layers or scene layers published from a cache dataset.

Enable data export

Geoprocessing tools allow you to perform analysis and data manipulation on geographic data. To run a geoprocessing tool on a scene layer, you must enable data export on the layer.

As the layer owner or an organization administrator, you can enable data export on all types of scene layers except voxel layers.

Prerequisite:

Follow these steps to enable a scene layer for data export:

1. Sign in to the organization as the item owner or an administrator.
2. Open the item page and click the Settings tab.
3. Scroll to the scene layer settings and check the box next to Allow others to export to different formats.
4. Click Save.

Share the layer with those who need to run geoprocessing tools on the scene layer.
