I can confirm having the same problem in 2.8.1. ... View more

Thanks for the quick response.  I realize you can do that for Stories, but I don't seem to see the same option for collections.     ... View more

Hi Kevin,   Were you ever able to resolve this?  I'm running into the exact same problem. John Wolf ... View more

Thanks, Arthur.  I did download the NAIP locally and it matched the area of the point cloud, so I'm not sure what the issue was. However, I performed the same colorization using ESRI's NAIP service and it worked perfectly! Thanks again. ... View more

Thanks Arthur! I was able to resolve my vertical problem.  I will seek out the Imagery Showcase booth (virtually) with other questions I have. Speaking of which, I get to the Colorize Las stage of your workflow and no matter what adjustments I make to the tool settings, I still just end up with a grey colorized lasd.  I'm thinking I must be missing something really basic but the solution hasn't been forthcoming!  See attached. ...

Hi Arthur - really interesting blog. I have a question that is semi-related to your blog entry -- more specifically related to your #3 step towards the end of the blog:   3. Looked at the projection in the reports in the meta data downloaded and found it was not supported because it used meters instead of feet, modified a projection and then copied it using a simple model builder tool to give a projection file to each LAS file. When you say "modified a projection", what exactly are you doing in ArcGIS Pro?  I have a las file with a known projection and vertical coordinate system (NAD 1983 (2011) UTM Zone 18N, NAVD88 height - Geoid12A (metres)) but when I generate the las dataset it floats above the surface.  This suggests to me that I have in an incorrect vertical reference so I'm trying to figure out how to modify the projection or reproject the lasd to get the stars to align.  See below. Any thoughts? ... View more

Thanks Owen – these are all great suggestions! And you are correct – I had removed the Sidecar (at least temporarily) in favor of the Web App Builder approach, but I may reconsider that based on your recommendations. In any event, you have given me a number of ideas for improving performance. The web scene is indeed filled with a bunch of data not shown in that simulation. The other layers are to be used in other parts of the story. I was trying to limit the number of distinct scenes I needed to create by putting all of the layers in the same scene but it sounds like that may be problematic. Thanks again! ... View more

Hi Owen, Sorry about the delay in responding. I’m actually working on this during weekends which is why it sometimes takes me a week to respond. The ID of the scene is https://chesbay.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=5c27079fdd964a42beb3d7a46674656c#<https://chesbay.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=5c27079fdd964a42beb3d7a46674656c> I run into problems when I insert a scene as a “map”. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. However, it looks like if I embed the scene (as opposed to inserting it as a map) I may get much closer to the functionality that will meet my needs. As I’m then basically interacting with the slides within the scene, as opposed to using the slide functionality of the sidecar template. The story map is here - https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/707baabadac34f2bba1541629abadfd8. The first sidecar is just a progression of images. I was trying to replicate the appearance of that progression using the slide functionality of sidecar (so the sidecar panels would be interactive) while inserting scenes as maps. That gets bogged down for me pretty quickly if I have more than 3 or 4 slides of different views within the same scene. But again – it may be that embed will work. Having said that -- I’m not sure if that is the desired behavior of the ArcGIS Story Map sidecar functionality (embedding scenes as opposed to inserting them as maps). Thanks again, John ...

Hi Andrew, i am am interested in doing something quite similar. I was wondering if you ever received any insights or came up with a approach yourself. John Wolf university of Baltimore ... View more
