hi how can i import .osm files in ArcGis Pro?
At first my job is a vewshed analyse about five wind turbines in a area of some citys.
i start a viewshed analyse with the ready to use tool (viewshed) and the Picture is the result.
The Problem is the programm only use the DEM in the background and not the layer with the buildings.
The question is how can i connect or implement the buildings to the DEM? So the analyses have to account the Buildings?
Thank
Manu
I have no idea what you mean with the "Surveys". Please explain.
However, generally speaking, viewshed analysis requires a DEM (Digital Elevation Model), or DSM (Digital Surface Model, with buildings and trees removed) in a raster format, usually created with LIDAR.
You can then use that raster together with some input features, like your buildings, as being the "observer points", in the ArcGIS Viewshed tool that probably needs the Spatial Analyst extension activated to work.
Anyway, I see the observer input can be either points or polylines according to the Help. So you probably need to convert the polygons of the buildings to points first, e.g. using the Feature To Point tool.

hi Marco thank for your help.
But now i have a new problem and i hope you can help me again 😃
I´ve done the import as a Layer(Buildings) import, how can i connect this layer (Buildings) to the Surveys for a viewshed analysis?
Thanks
The best way to import OpenStreetMap data in .osm XML format, is to use ESRI's "ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap":
https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=4533407decd94428817a228cb36964cf
This toolbox has powerful options to import the data, including full support for OSM multipolygon relations.
NOTE(!): Unfortunately, there is not yet a "Pro" version of this toolbox, so you can't use it in ArcGIS Pro and import directly in Pro.
However, this is not a big issue: use ArcMap to import the data into a File Geodatabase, and then simply open the File Geodatabase in Pro, or first style your data in ArcMap also, and then import the ArcMap *.mxd document in Pro using Pro's options for importing ArcMap documents.
As to the Editor:
I strongly recommend you to use the new "OSM File Loader (Load only)" tool to import the data if you do not intend to edit the data in ArcMap and contribute back to OSM using the upload options. The "OSM File Loader (Load only)" tool supports ESRI's Parallel Processing environment setting, meaning it can take advantage of multi-core processing. This is much faster than the "Load OSM File" tool, but this latter tool is needed in case you intend to contribute back, or desire to create a Geometric Network of the OSM data for routing purposes, as it will load additional relationship information into the File Geodatabase that the "OSM File Loader (Load only)" skips (but please note the "OSM File Loader (Load only)" does load OSM multipolygon relations).
