Hello, I try to check on this each year at the UC but unfortunatly wasn't able to attend this year. Does ArcGIS Knowledge support 3D yet? Thanks. ... View more

Hello. I have watched several sessions as part of the virtual UC, and the speakers said the slides would be posted after the event, which it is now. When will slides be posted? Thanks. ... View more

Building on the idea proposed in Incorporate Perpendicular Offsets of Events into LRS data model , I’d like to suggest a complementary and expanded enhancement: It would be extremely valuable if events from one LRS could be referenced on another LRS while preserving real-world spatial positioning rather than relying solely on centerline linear referencing. Use Case: In my organization, we manage: One LRS for street centerlines Another LRS for sidewalks While these networks are maintained separately and must be visualized in their true real-world geospatial positions (e.g., not collapsed onto the centerline), they are functionally and spatially related. We need: The ability to reference sidewalk events (e.g., missing sections, repairs) as events on the street centerline LRS to determine which streets have sidewalks and on which sides. Conversely, to reference street features as events on the sidewalk LRS to better understand sidewalk context, maintenance zones, and proximity relationships. This would support: Asset management systems needing real-world (not centerline-collapsed) displays, Operational analysis (e.g., sidewalk completeness studies), And field verification tools that rely on intuitive real-world positioning. Proposed Enhancements: Allow events from one LRS to be located and referenced on another LRS (e.g., via cross-LRS calibration). Support perpendicular offset-based geometry in event layer configuration (from linked LRS routes). Retain true geospatial representation of both networks for visualization and spatial analysis. Summary of Benefits: Supports complex networks like sidewalks, medians, trails, and shoulders that relate to but are not co-located with road centerlines. Enables smarter asset management and relationships Aligns with modern GIS practices emphasizing real-world geometry Thank you for considering. ... View more

Hello. As much as I love orthos, point clouds, and meshes and would love to deliver more of these products to our customers, most of our drone product requests are just delivering the raw photos and video. Folks just want pretty pictures - many times for marketing purposes (website\social media, etc.). This has created a schism in workflows for my drone team depending on what the end deliverable is. If folks what something processed by Site Scan, we use that. However, if all they want is the raw pictures and video, we use a separate workflow and hosting solution for the media. I would really love if all our drone missions as well as content (whether that be a sophisticated 3D mesh to "dumb" pictures and video) could all be served\published out by Site Scan. This would make it easier for our end users (one stop shopping for all drone deliverables) as well as our drone operators and not to mention increase our utilization of Site Scan. Thanks for considering. ... View more

Pretty simple idea. Drones capture lots of pictures. Add a oriented imagery viewer to Site Scan. ... View more
