Additional Information

ArcGIS Online validates service geometry according to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) rules. When features are non-compliant with OGC validation rules, feature rendering are impacted. OGC stipulates that Z values are ignored when validating geometry. While X and Y values must represent a coordinate value, Z values are not required to represent elevation (they could represent anything, for example rainfall measurements or income generated), which is why they are ignored for geometry validation. When a line is perfectly vertical, during geometry validation it appears as two (or more) perfectly coincident points and therefore are invalidated due to "short segments". Therefore this behavior is expected. Vertical lines can be represented in compliance with OGC validation by using extruding points.

Workaround

Delete the vertical lines from the feature class before publishing the scene.
