GregoryEnglishAAAE makes an EXCELLENT point! I've had the iPad shut down on me on very hot days. They are rather unstable in high heat. And as other's have explained, DJI is still the drone industry leader and their controllers run Android. It is cumbersome to have to attach the iPad to the controller.  And the reason we went with Site Scan over Pix4D Mapper or Cloud is because we can bring our GIS Portal web maps into the Site Scan flight planner to create the boundaries of our mission with our assets showing up on the screen. The imagery in the background may be too blurry to properly lay out and miss a tower, but when we can see our GIS assets and know where that tower is in our GIS data, we can avoid it. Being able to bring our GIS enterprise data into flight planner was a huge selling point for us. we can't bring our web maps into Pix4D Capture or any other 3rd party flight planning apps...that I know of.  And finally, yes, we could fly our missions in a 3rd party app, but Site Scan purports to be a complete package and offers fleet management. I was blown away when my batteries automagically showed up in the fleet management section!!!! That is freaking awesome that I didn't have to enter the serial number or anything about the batteries. And apparently I have a preference for battery #2!!! The fleet management capabilities when we fly our missions with flight planner helps us make sure to rotate through our batterie and tracks other maintenance metrics for us. ... View more

Thank you for the quick response. Here is the error. And here is an article on How To: Upload design and engineering files to Site Scan Manager for ArcGIS: How To: Upload design and engineering files to Site Scan Manager for ArcGIS (esri.com) Reading that article more carefully, looks like it is assumed the "CAD file" has been exported to SHAPEFILE....so is not really a native CAD DWG file anymore. Oh ESRI, I do love you but so often the materials presented make things look much MUCH easier than they actually are.  Also following up, we were able to simplify/make smaller and export  to .dxf to bring the drawing into Manager.   I could still use help learning the file upload size limits. I can't find it in the blogs nor FAQ page I found. ... View more

We just figured this out for our environment. We installed the free ArcGIS plugin to Civil 3D and we download the ortho photos from Site Scan onto the network but manage them through Image Server.  First thing is use the Coordinate System button on the ArcGIS ribbon that is installed into Civil 3D and set the coordinate system to the State Plane coordinate system the DWG file is in. Then using the Add data button on that ribbon, add layer as URL and paste the imager service REST URL into the field. Everything lines up and we do not have to deal with file sizes. ... View more

I think I have the same problem. I'm just using a mosaic dataset of TIF files and trying to use the Build Multidimensional Info tool but I get a 9999 error.  I'm referencing this blog: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/imagery/create-multidimensional-raster-data/ And watched this embedded YouTube video where they put 8 Landsat scenes from a different year that cover the same area into a Mosaic Dataset and are defining the variable that can be used in something like the multidimensional raster function. https://youtu.be/HFbTFTnsMWM Bummer you posted this over a year ago and no one has been able to help. ...

Yes, there is a definite need to be able to delete ground control sets. I wasn't paying attention and some fields didn't map correctly and now the GCPs are showing up in the wrong locations. Thank you EMRCWA for this post  and how you just relabel the set as bad/wrong, etc. ... View more

I too just want to add we also only have 1 iPad and multiple pilots with our own laptops. Flight planning within Manager with our Portal layers and other REST services is needed on our laptops.  Glad to hear it is on the road map. ... View more

Yes, this in Site Scan Manager flight planning. I have been able to add portal maps to the Site Scan Flight Planning app, but I would like to be able to do all my flight planning on the desktop and have my operational layers so that I can define my collection boundary with my features on the map.   ...

Hello, I'm still learning and banging around trying to learn how to use Image server for multi temporal data layers. I'm utilizing/trying to follow the Mosaic Dataset workflow documentation (which may be different from your workflow), I THINK that building the footprint has taken care of this issue for me? When you build the footprint, you can choose to build it based on Radiometry so therefore exclude No Data areas.  Again, I'm new and still don't fully grasp the nuances.  Good luck!!   ... View more

Hello, my question is along the lines of the last three posts from Lisa Merkhofer, Scott Maginity, and Aubree Vaughn. I'm working in portal and created a web app for non-gis users for our organization. The apps give us extra tools via the widgets where web maps have limited functionality. The biggest drawback to the Webapps is that users can't save their sessions. I too have the drawing widget and add data widget in my web app and would like the non-gis users to be able to save their additions to the base web app. I guess the base question to all of this is what is meant in the description of saving annotation?  Thank you, Angie ...

Hello, I thought this might be a good thread to add the following question to: I attended the Extend the Reach of Your GIS Seminar and saw a really cool demonstration where they linked the photo of a national flag hosted on Wikipedia to be the image for the pop-up ...does anyone know how to do this? So basically, you click on the country point (embassy in the demo) and the pop-up has some basic info on the country and an image of the flag. This is the wikipedia page with all the sovern state flags: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign-state_flags The indivicual flag image URLs are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Canada.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Mexico.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg So I created a simple layer with a dot in the US, Canada and Mexico and in the {Country} field, populated the country name the same way the wikipedia image is named ("Canada", "Mexico", "United_States") So then in the Configure Pop-up window, in the add media portion, i clicked to add an image and in the URL (and link field) I tried: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_{Country}.svg I even tried <![CDATA[<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_{Country}.svg'</a> ]]> Did anyone else see this demo or can figure out how to make this happen? Thanks ... View more
