You can export terrains as geometries, tile packages (.tpk file), or images by selecting the map layers to export.
Export as a geometry
To export a terrain as a geometry, complete the following steps:
- In the Scene Editor window, click Terrain Layers.
- Click File > Export > CityEngine > Export Models of Selected Shapes and Terrain Layers.
- For Format, choose a model format to export.
The rest of the process is similar to the steps in Export a model.
Note:
The KML and scene layer package formats do not support exporting terrains.
Export as a tile package
To export a terrain as a tile package, complete the following steps:
- In the Scene Editor window, click Terrain Layers.
- Click File > Export Selected Layers as TPK.
- Under Maps, choose to export the basemap file, the elevation terrain file, or both as tile packages.
If you export both the basemap file and elevation file, a {filename}_Basemap.tpk file and a {filename}_Elevation.tpk file are added to the output folder.
- Use Scene Environment, to export the terrain for either a global or local scene.
- Sign in to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise to share the tile packages with your organization or the public.
- Right-click the .tpk file to share and click Share as.
The Tile Package dialog box appears.
- Complete the necessary fields and click Share.
- Go to the Content tab in your account in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise and publish the tile package as a hosted elevation or tile layer.
Export as an image
To export a terrain as an image, complete the following steps:
- In the Scene Editor window, click Terrain Layers.
- Click File > Export > CityEngine > Export Selected Terrains as Image.
- For Format, choose an image format to export.
