PROBLEM
When multipatches or extruded polygons are added to a local or global scene in ArcGIS Pro, the polygons are missing or sections of the polygons do not display as expected. ![[O-Image]](https://webapps-cdn.esri.com/CDN/support-site/technical-articles-images/000012267/00N39000003LL24-0EM39000000wdYb.png)
3D data in ArcGIS Pro uses elevation surfaces to determine the height of layers in the scene. By default, a ground surface called 'ground' is added to every new scene. Both local and global scenes use elevation surfaces, and when layers are added to a scene, the layers may be displayed underneath the elevation surface. This may happen if the layer's elevation is set to an absolute height based on the feature's z-values. To see the data, display structures on top of the ground by using the ground elevation as the layer's base elevation.
