# Creating a 3D scene
Once your data layers have been uploaded and are ready for use, you’ll then need to commence with the creation of your project. ESRI offers some interesting options (for example, Story Maps), but the simplest choice will be to create a 3D scene that will be accessed from with the Scene Viewer tool.
There are several ways to achieve this, but the most obvious is to navigate to the Scene page (via the top menu), then press the \[+] button that’s found on the top menu. Here, you’ll be asked to choose between creating a ‘Global’ or ‘Local’ scene. Global scenes are based around a full globe model, whilst a Local scene will offer a more typical 3D environment. By default, ESRI provides a default background map layer for both options. If you’re going to be working with OS mesh data, the ‘Local’ scene option is likely going to be more appropriate.
