Long question, been at this for awhile and could really use some experienced help. End goal – Build a raster mosaic with thousands of scanned maps that can be published to our Portal environment as image services. Our Data - Thousands of 3-band 8-bit geo-tiff scanned map images with various coordinate systems but mostly NAD83 State Plane systems that cover most of North America. Current Workflow – Built a normal raster mosaic with a Web-Mercator coordinate system (not sure this is the correct decision). Our data is located on a local shared file drive, and we are attempting to use the Optimize Raster tool to move the data to an Azure Cloud Store and process the data into MRF JPEG (ESRI suggested that at the scale we are building this we are going to want MRF to prevent performance issues). Once this is complete add the data from the cloud store into the raster mosaic in ArcPro via Add Raster Tool. Once Rasters are added we Calculate Statistics and build Pyramids using the individual GPTs. Problems – Using the Optimize Raster tool works to create the MRF files and move data to the Azure Cloud Store, but the MRF files lose their coordinate system and images land in the Ocean off the coast of Africa.  --- Note, that if I put our base data (geo-tiff) into the Cloud Store via copy/paste and then add it to the Raster Mosaic it keeps its coordinate-system and lands on the map where it belongs. Anyone that can help me work through this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! ... View more

I'm looking into purchasing a GeoSlam Zeb-Revo and was hoping to see if anyone has any real life experence/feedback on using this product. I'd like to use it in the field scanning interior facilities to help capture plumbing features and build 2D/3D maps to help with internal construction project planning.    If anyone has used this product and is willing to share how its gone and what they have been able to gain from it, I would greatly appreciate the help before making such a large investment.

We want to start using our Enterprise GDB more especially for our master layers that have data from multiple projects all over the country. By doing this every layer that we publish as a reference is essentially a “view layer”. My question, is it possible to query the data by geographic area in ArcPro before publishing to Enterprise/Portal so that the user of the data layer in Portal only has access to the data in that area. Similar to how you can make view layers with Hosted Feature Layers in Portal. Below is a posting I found on this subject a few years back but I didn't see that any resolution was found. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/feature-layer-views-for-non-hosted-data/idi-p/923756 ...

Question – I got a successful collaboration and workspace set up with another companies online account (host) and our portal (guest). However the feature layers we are sharing with each other require each of us to sign-in to the others environment to access the data. This is problematic to our workflow we are trying to create with field workers and GIS team members. I’d like to know definitively if there is a way to remove the prompt to sign-in to the others environment or if this is currently a limitation not possible in ESRI?   Key information for this question Our Enterprise is 10.8 Sharing data with “everyone” is not an Option This is our only portal to online collaboration my company has in place. I’m I correct that I will not be able to set up another? Greatly appreciate and help you can send our way. Thanks ... View more
