Configure Scene for Subsurface Navigation

Summary

When adding datasets that are located beneath the earth's surface, it can sometimes be difficult to locate or to view them in a standard 3D scene. This tool changes some of the default scene parameters to make subsurface viewing a more natural experience.

Usage

The Configure Scene for Subsurface Navigation tool makes the following changes to the Ground Elevation Surface of the active local scene:

• Enables the underground navigation option
• Sets the Ground Elevation Surface as transparent (instead of any opaque color) so that you can see through to the subsurface more easily

Local Scene after Configuration :

Zoom to Subsurface Layer

Another ease of navigation feature that is added when Target for ArcGIS Pro is installed, is a modification to the ArcGIS Pro "Zoom To Layer" feature. 

If a subsurface layer or dataset is currently selected in the Contents pane, when you right-click  Zoom To Layer, the 3D scene will rotate around to show that layer from a position beneath the earth's surface, instead of the default bird's eye view.
