Thank you Jen. It looks like you are using a straight LAS file as an input. Can you try adding that to a LAS Dataset and try again? If that still doesn't work, please send a sample of your data over, dhedges at esri dot com. ... View more

Hi Jen, can you share the parameters that you used? I may need to see a sample of your data to reproduce if you are able to provide it. Thanks, Dan ... View more

Hi Andrew, This looks similar to the previous errors. Are you using the "Extract Roof Forms for Municipal Government" Learn Lesson, or the current Local Government 3D Basemap solution? We are working on updating the Learn Lesson to be in line with the current solution, and should be updated shortly, but until then, the 3D Basemap solution is the current supported version of this workflow. ...

Hi Jen, Thanks for asking this, I apologize for the frustration. Yes, it could be a separate issue with the data that is causing this (not ObjectID missing). You don't need to delete all your fields. Could you test on a small area of your data and make sure it still fails? If it does, could you send that small sample area via email to dhedges at esri dot com so I can reproduce? It is difficult to understand the issue without looking at the data, so this is the likely the easiest way. In regards to your texturing question, we have the ability to apply procedural (synthetic) textures to buildings, but applying aerial imagery directly to 3D buildings does not work very well, as it does not include imagery for facades. If you have oblique imagery for certain buildings, you can apply these manually to the multipatch buildings after they are created. Hope this helps! Dan Hedges - 3D Product Engineer ... View more

Hi Rens, Would you be able to share your data? dhedges@esri.com Thanks! Dan ... View more

Klemens, Good to hear you got it working. I hope this problem didn't take too much of your time! Dan ... View more

Hi Ryan, Is this still an issue for you? Have you tried downloading the most recent Local Gov template to see if this problem persists? If so, please share some sample data so we can try to reproduce on our end. I have not seen this issue before. Thanks, Dan ... View more

Hello Klemens, My fist thought is that this process does not support using commas as decimal points. Please try using a period instead for your input parameters, and see if the issue persists. Thanks, Dan ... View more

Hi Klemens, Are you using the latest release of Pro when you get this error?  Thanks, Dan ... View more

It is odd that you would see an increase in sloped roofs classified when you increase the minimum roof plane area. This basically means that it's discarding more roof planes because they do not meet the minimum area requirement. Also, minimum areas of 250 and 75 sq meters would be quite large if your data are in meters. It could be that the issue is due to the coordinate system of your data (changing the units in the map properties would not help in this case). For instance, if the vertical units of your elevation rasters do not match your horizontal units, that could cause such an issue. I would first go through and confirm that the source lidar's vertical and horizontal coordinate systems match those of your surface models, and that they match up with that of your building footprints. ...

Hi Cyrus, To add on to Art's response, we have identified the need for a regularization routine that honors shared polygon borders and maintains topology of the output, and are currently developing that functionality. This does add a significant amount of complexity to the algorithm, and is more computationally expensive, but we hope to include this ability soon. In the meantime, I'll mention that the Integrate tool can be helpful to overcome topology errors introduced by the Regularize Building Footprint tool. Integrate—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS for Desktop  Best of luck, Dan Hedges ...

Hi Brian, All of the code for the script tools in this solution are open to view and edit if desired. Just right click on the script tool and click edit. The calculate building height script uses the Zonal Statistics tool to derive the building height from the DSM, so you would at least need the Spatial Analyst extension to run this script, and I do not know of any workaround to this that would not require this extension. Hope this helps, Dan Hedges ... View more

Hello all, I apologize for the confusion. This issue is due to a bug found in the update from Pro 1.2 to 1.3, wherein the python script cannot successfully execute within the task the way it was written. The current Local Government Scene Solution materials have this bug fixed, and the Learn Lesson materials are in the process of being updated as well, but in the meantime, you should be able to run this script outside of the task framework, and then pick up with the tasks that follow after that step. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps. ... View more

Dan, Here's a video made a while back showing a similar analysis being done: Subsurface Visualization | ArcGIS Video For the cross-section views, our fearless narrator, Gert Van Maren​,​ is using Intersect 3D (Intersect 3D—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop ) to create slices of the subsurface multipatch volumes he has created. To create your plumes (blobs), I would select your 3D depth-enabled sample points by Response (ppm) and create a 3D convex hull (Minimum Bounding Volume—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop​) around each contamination level you're interested in. Then you can go about cross-sectioning to your heart's content. Best of luck! ... View more
