Export terrain

You can export terrains as tile packages (TPK), images, or geometries by selecting the map layer(s) to export.

Exporting to geometry

1. Select Terrain Layers to export in Scene editor.
2. Select File > Export > CityEngine > Export Models of Selected Shapes and Terrain Layers.
3. For Format, choose a model format to export.

   The rest of the process is similar to the model exporter.

The KML and the Esri Scene Layer Package formats do not support exporting terrains.

Exporting to tile package (TPK)

1. Select Terrain Layers to export in Scene editor.
2. Click File > Export Selected Layers as TPK.
3. Under Maps, choose to export both the basemap and elevation terrain files as TPK's or just select one of them.

   If you chose to export both Basemap and Elevation maps, you will have a {filename}_Basemap.tpk and a {filename}_Elevation.tpk file in your output folder.

4. For Scene Environment, you have the option of exporting the terrain for either a global or local scene.
5. Sign in to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise to share the TPK's with your organization or the public.
6. Right-click the TPK file you want to share and click Share as...

   This opens the share Tile Package dialog. .

7. Fill out the necessary fields and click Share.
8. Go to the Content tab in your account in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise and publish the TPK as a hosted elevation or tile layer.
