Symbology in ArcPro

Symbology

The symbology setting during publishing needs to be “use symbol types compatible with all clients.”

Use the least amount of customization for symbology. Usually not a marker symbol or picture symbol. A standard 2D symbol works best.

The sizing of points or lines will be ignored in Z-Focus. Keep the defaults in the web map. The colors and symbols will be honored. Just don’t make them too complex. (see Symbology).

Please note, if you have two layers in the same map that have copies of layers, you may experience a double line in the AR application.  Z-Focus tries to render two layers.

Don’t use polygons without a fill. Z-focus uses the fill color as a symbol in the application.

Use standard solid fills for polygons. Transparency is handled in Z-Focus so there is no need to have any transparency settings.

Similarly, the app does not consider setting zoom scales in the map.

All the symbology comes from the web services – not the Web Map, so any changes on the web map will not be reflected within the Z-Focus application.

3D Objects

The standard release of Z-Focus supports polylines, points, and polygon only.  Viewing three dimensional objects is possible in the current system, but because of the nature of size and placement would involve additional investment, please contact sales@z-focus.com for a quote.

Large Data Sets

Large data sets or data which contain large elements (e.g. long polylines) load slowly over cellular data on a tablet or phone. If Z-Focus appears to return no data, what you are experiencing is a very slow pull of data over a cellular connection. Typical load time for a web map is five seconds. If the map hasn't loaded in that timeframe, or appears to time out, review the amount of data you are trying to show in the web map.
