# Importing an OS integrated mesh model into ArcGIS Online

OS meshes can be incorporated in AGOL and used within the various tools and templates that are offered. Further to this, additional data layers can be incorporated alongside, enabling the creation of unique and engaging content. It’s a great way of sharing mesh data to a wider audience.

Whilst AGOL contains a lot of functionality, it probably shouldn’t be viewed as a stand-alone solution. Instead, it’s typically used in conjunction with a separate desktop GIS application (ArcGIS Pro, etc.), with such tools typically being used for data preparation. This aspect isn’t covered in this document, as it’s assumed that you’ll already have your own methods and preferences for such activities.

The output from AGOL projects can be a basic view of the data using the Scene Viewer tool. However, more specialist options, such as ESRI Story Maps or Experience Builder, can also be configured to use mesh-orientated scenes.

## Accessing ArcGIS Online

AGOL is accessed by visiting [Account Login - ArcGIS Online](https://www.arcgis.com/index.html) and following the sign-on process that’s relevant to your specific account. Once successfully logged in, you’ll see the AGOL homepage, which will include a top menu bar that looks something like this:

<figure><img src="/files/TUxHCy46v52ABzAN1kxp" alt="ArcGIS online top menu bar with the right most &#x27;Organization&#x27; tab selected from the menu."><figcaption><p>ArcGIS Online homepage tip menu bar.</p></figcaption></figure>

The options listed on this menu link to the most commonly used AGOL tools. However, an additional ‘waffle’ menu (i.e. nine dots in a square) grants access to an extended set of options. For the purposes of these instructions, where an integrated mesh is the primary subject of interest, we’ll primarily work within the Scene Viewer, additionally using the Content page to manage our resources.
