SLPK attribute issue - in spec or in arcgis pro tool after 2^24 = 16 777 216 records

Hi,
When using geoprocessing tool "Create 3D Object Scene Layer Content" in arcgis Pro 2.9.X or 3.X – I am coming to some limit of that tool / Script. I am using the tool to create SLPK based on polygon multipatch feature class representing buildings.

My guess is that within the script (written in C++ ?) , there is some variable , assign as float, so that it can only store value up to 2^24 numbers, and then it restarts from 1 again…

The tool correctly creates scene layer package with the right geometry (height) for each building. However, within SLPK, not all attribute data are correctly assigned:
• Up to 2^24 = 16 777 216 records the attribute data from SLPK corresponds to attribute data of multipitch feature class (in fact up to 16 777 214 records, the last two records have “empty “ information”).
• Then, the next building has the right geometry, but no attribute: the attribute data is the same exactly as the first building.
• The second building has the right geometry, but its attributes are the same as the second building
• etc…
Workflow:
• Open arcgis pro – GLOBAL SCENE (projection WME).
• Add MultiPatch feature class ( I am going to provide you two – one with 38 records only - to run fast small test, and second one containing more than 16mln records of buildings)
• From Tools open “Create 3D object Scene layer Content” – SLPK:

• Set output coordinate system: Projection horizontale 4326, Projection Vetrical 5720
• Texture – ‘ALL’ or ‘Desktop’ does not matter.

• Once SLPK is generated. Compare attributes information between multipatch feature class and SLPK (the best is to open map viewer (with multipatch ) and scene viewer (with SLPK) next to each other and compare them.

• Go to first object id of multipatch see compare attribute information
• Go to 16 777 217 and again compare attribute information

PRE- REQUIEREMENTS:

• On your C drive, you must have at least 3 *25Go= 7Go free space, prior producing SLPK based on large multipatch
• You might use the latest version of arcgis pro 3.X or 2.9. that does not matter.
  Data:
• Attached link with geodatabase with two feature classes:
  o Building_MultiPatch_38 – with 38 records
  o Building_MultiPatch_16777224 – with 16 777 224 records of buildings

Hello,
we analyzed the issue and found a solution for the problem. We used your provided data for testing. We are planning to include the fix in ArcGIS Pro 3.2 as well as part of plan of a ArcGIS Pro 3.1 patch.
