Yes, I saw that one, too. It's a beefed-up version of the line profile, so not what I'm looking for. Thanks, though!

3D elevation profile of an area · ‎11-01-2016

Hello Folks, Is it possible to get a 3D profile graph of an area? I can generate a line profile graph from cross sections in 3D Analyst, i.e. from A to A' or B to B', but I'm interested in a profile graph of the area between the two lines (the orange hatch). I'm not having any luck finding anything helpful. I have bathymetric grid data, and am in Desktop 10.2.2. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Janet

Joe, In Desktop, have you used the Watershed tool in Spatial Analyst? And how small is "small"?

Hi All, Sorry for the basic questions -- I'm struggling with the API, and not finding good documentation to explain things at a basic level. I want to develop something like the Parcel Viewer for our intranet, but want to be able to query APNs and addresses from our feature layer, not a geocoding service. I am using AGOL, as we do not have ArcGIS Server. Is this even possible to do? When I look at the API Reference, it looks like the classes I might want to use to do this (i.e. QueryTask, FeatureLayer, ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer) require something to do with ArcGIS Server REST. I'm interpreting this as needing ArcGIS Server in order to use these in my JS -- is this correct? In trying to get a start and reference the Parcel Viewer code, I get directed to Github, but it's not clear to me what has the source code, since there are many documents -- I'm not sure how to make sense of it. Also, would the code I get from Github be different than the code I'd get if I did a rt click > View source on the actual application? Thanks for any thoughts - Janet

Similar to rigaulin's comment, the "Create Layer from Selected Features" is not a stable environment. If the base layer that the features were selected from is edited in any way, even if that edit doesn't involve any of the selected features, the selection goes wonky. You'll end up with selected features that you didn't select. And even worse, there's no error, warning, or anything to give you a heads up that something has changed...! It's such a great feature -- saves us from creating unnecessary feature classes -- but it's just not reliable.

I agree!! We need to be able to create a map to embed in our intranet site, with the option to NOT share the underlying feature/map service as well as the web map itself. Not that our data is super sensitive, but it's not ours to share and we definitely don't want anyone editing it. This essentially prohibits the usefulness of AGOL for our agency.

Okay, found what I was missing. In the legend, I was looking at the layer as it came in in the Contents, and clicking the dropdown next to it. However, if you expand the layer, there's another one beneath, and I was able to configure the pop-up on THAT one....

Mike, I published them at the same time -- checked both boxes, feature access and tiled map service. Is there some way, i.e. within properties, that I can tell whether or not a relationship has been set up? Thanks - Janet

However, if you published your data from ArcMap and at the same time also enabled "Feature access" capability, this will publish both a hosted tiled map service and a feature service. Because the feature service has the attribute information, when you add the tiled map service to your web map, the system will automatically use the corresponding feature service when you enable popup information. Mike, I published both a tiled map service and a feature service at the same time, added the tiles to my AGOL map, but still no popups (when I click the dropdown next to the layer name in Contents, there's no popup option). Am I missing something? Thanks - Janet

‎12-11-2013

Mike, Thanks for the distinction between the two. I created a tiled map service, as we have a parcel layer with well over 1000 features that we want to eventually embed on our intranet. However, when I view it in ArcGIS Online there's a white box around my data layer, and I'm not able to see the basemap below my parcels (kind of mimics the extent you'd see in Layout View in ArcMap). Any chance this is simply a setting within ArcMap that I need to adjust before publishing? The mxd that was used to publish the map service referenced data that's on our server. When the map service is used, is it accessing data directly from our server, or is the data now hosted on Online and there's no connection to our server? Sorry if my terminology isn't correct -- I'm just getting started with Online.... We have an organizational Online account, and we're using v10.1 Janet

Similar question -- I want to embed a map on our intranet site. From what I've read, I have to make the map public in order to embed it. But that means anyone would be able to access the map via ArcGIS Online? Would they also be able to edit it? Would they then also be able to access our intranet site that's behind a firewall? Thanks for any help -- I'm new to Online and it's not making much sense....

Have you played around with creating your own expression in labels? You can do this via text from the Drawing toolbar or via the Labels tab in Layer Properties. The former is better if you want to do each label individually, the latter is better for automating labels and you can make attributes part of the expression. I'm not a programmer and I'm able to do this fairly easily -- you just have to make sure the code is exact. There's a matrix of the codes in Help, "Formatting tags available in ArcMap". Or you can access it via the Properties dialog when you add text manually in ArcMap (use the "About formatting text" link at the bottom of the dialog box). For example, if I wanted to bold the word "text" in my label, I'd type <BOL>text</BOL> To put text on another line in your label, add "& vbcrlf &" (w/o the quotes) in the expression each time you want text on a new line. Does this help? Janet

Thanks for the responses. I still haven't found out how to simply crop/resize the layout without things moving around (I don't want to clip it based on a shape, and yes, everything is geo-ref'd), but maybe it's not possible. However, I did learn that there are two ways to add graphics in Layout View, one of which will keep the graphics linked to locations, like it does when you add graphics in Data View (it's nice not to have to go back and forth between the two views). Before adding graphics in Layout View, double click the data frame to get into "Focus" mode (the boundary of the data frame will have hatch lines around it). Adding graphics while in this mode will allow you to move the map around without messing up their placement. So that solves my problem of being able to crop my map without messing up the graphics, but I still have to manually readjust the map after I resize it to go back to the view that I had before....

When you export to pdf, do you see the Format tab under Options (bottom of the Export Map dialog box)? If so, you could try checking the "Convert Marker Symbols to Polygons" option....

‎06-25-2013

This may be oversimplistic, but what about using the Aspect tool? If your roofs are vectors, run the Polygon to Raster tool first, and then use that output for Aspect.
