HOW TO
When working with a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro, subsurface features can be viewed by navigating and zooming below the ground surface. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Navigate underground for more information.
However, some instances require features underneath the ground to be viewed without navigating below the ground surface, such as viewing pipelines with their associated infrastructure above ground. This article provides two methods for viewing below ground features from above ground. The image below shows 3D building blocks with hidden underground levels.
Note: Ensure to toggle off the visibility of the basemap and any other ground surface layers.
The image below shows the ground elevation surface as colorless and the underground building levels visible from above ground.
Note: Ensure the ground elevation surface is set to colorless as in the workflow above.
Note: If an additional basemap layer is present (for example, World Hillshade) press and hold the Ctrl key to make multiple selections.
The image below shows the increased transparency of the basemap layer to reveal the underground building levels from above ground.
