Additional Information
In ArcGIS Pro, scale in 3D doesn't have the same definition as in the ArcGIS API. In ArcGIS API, the scale is calculated in the classical way: 1:100000 means 1cm on the map is 1km on the ground. However in 3D it's tricky, this only applies to the center of the view. Other points of the view will have slightly smaller or bigger scales depending how far they are from the camera. In ArcGIS Pro, the scale refers to the camera height about the ground. So 2000m doesn't mean 1:2000 but it means that the camera is 2000m above ground. Read about it here: http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/navigation/map-scales-and-scale-properties.htm See: In 3D views, the scale list refers to the camera's height above the ground elevation surface. To compare ArcGIS API with ArcGIS Pro, switch to a Map and set the scale to 1:2000, and it displays the same level of detail as the API.Steps to Reproduce
