Hello, This might be a dumb question, but our organization has both ArcGIS Indoors as well as the Utility Network in our future. Indoors is obviously 3D enabled but so is the UN (or can be). We are wondering if there is any interplay between these two schemas. For example, if we have Indoors, can we also show our 3D UN data and have that UN data also be floor aware? Can data be in both schemas? We are struggling to understand what ESRI tech stack should be in play when modeling utilities that are inside buildings. We are about to do a massive data collection campaign of our vertical facilities, and I would love to know if there is something we need to be collecting in order for our UN assets to be floor aware (if that is possible). ...

Hi All. Simple idea\request. While publishing content from Pro (whether web maps or layers), there is only a sub selection of item description fields available compared to item descriptions on AGO or Portal. This means that once you are done publishing in Pro, you have to go back to AGO or Portal and finish adding the rest of the information (and then obviously this information is not in your aprx either, which is frustrating). This just seems silly not having the same fields between platforms. From what I can tell, Pro only has the "Name", "Summary", and "Tag" fields, but does not include fields for "Description", "Categories", "Credits (Attribution)", and "Terms of Use". For us, we really need everything filled out. Having to bounce between platforms to get all the item descriptions filled out also lends itself to more items missing that information generally, which isn't good. Obviously, if the item needs to be overwritten, updated, or any changes are needed on the item descriptions, it would be nice to do all this in one place in Pro. It's the simple things in life that go a long way 😉 ... View more

Saw that Workflow Manager for ArcGIS Online dropped today. This is a really cool. I am wondering if someone from ESRI could further explain the similarities\differences and capabilities between the online version and on prem Enterprise version. Is there feature parity? Interoperbility? If we have both Enterprise and Online would I need both "flavors" of workflow manager to work with both platforms, or are they interoperable (i.e. can Enterprise workflow manager work with ArcGIS online and can Online Workflow Manager work with Enterprise)? Thanks. ... View more

Hello. Kudos to ESRI for making the journey to high resolution digital twins more accessible and attainable for organizations. I think many of us were blown away by what was showcased at this year's UC. One thing that would be helpful I think for the community is to understand what would be both the minimum, optimal and important image collection settings (resolution, overlap, sidelap, etc.) and any other BMBs to make these wonderful digital twins such as what was shown in the plenary (City of Cambridge, MA). Knowing these variables is important to develope image acqusition strategies. Thanks. ... View more

Hello. I am trying to work through the Development Impact Analysis solution, specifically the shadow impact analysis tools. I have been following the helpful video "Shadow Impact Analysis Tutorial for ArcGIS Pro" on ESRI's website. However, I am stuck at step one - Create Sun Positions task. I have tried with my own data as well as using the exact data and parameters used in the video. No matter what I do or what data I try, I receive the same error below. There seems to be a problem with the underlying python script, receiving a "math domain" error. I have included an example output from the tool below and have only removed my username from file paths for security purposes.
