Hello. I have a question about Arcgis Pro and Arcgis CityEngine.

Hello. I have a question about Arcgis Pro and Arcgis CityEngine.

We're looking for a tool that satisfies three requirements: LOD configuration, latitude, longitude, and altitude settings, and the ability to upload modeling files to our own web server and import them into Layers. Please let me know which is better, Arcgis Pro or CityEngine.

Also, please let me know which purchasing options are best for you.

Hey @진규김 

I would personally use ArcGIS CityEngine, from what I can find, the LOD scaling and abilities are much better focused and has better Lat/Lon support.

Personally, I would go with CityEngine for these purposes, here's some additional reading:

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/cityengine/latest/get-started/get-started-about-cityengine.htm

CityEngine has a price of around $2,000-$4,000 USD from what I have found online so far, much more than a standard single ArcGIS Creator license, but it's directly focused on 3D design and work.
