Issue in base height expression (ArcGIS Pro)

JayakumarKamalakkannan — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 10:27:27 GMT

Hi,

I am setting base height expression in ArcScene and I am trying to publish the SXD in web using ArcGIS Pro it throws error that "invalid expression", even though the SQL expression validator doesn't through error. Kindly let me know how to solve this issue. For your reference I am attaching the screenshot of the expression which I set in ArcScene.

did you type that expression? or did you use the calculator to select the Z field, the multiply and the 10? I thought python was now used in Pro so I am surprised if the field isn't enclosed in double exclamation marks (ie !Z! * 10 )

Since the expression was created using ArcScene, it must have used VBScript parser.

Hi,

Yes Vb script parser is used still it throwing error while publishing, please refer the attached screenshot.

Expression used : * 10

couldn't help but notice that the sliver of an error above the one you posted refers to an unsupported spatial reference... are these somehow linked? or was that for another scene?

Hi Dan,

Sorry for the confusion I am sending the updated screenshot with issues.

Issue:

I need to publish the SXD data in web for that I have used ArcGIS Pro 1.4 by setting the elevation as shown in the attached screenshot (using field "Baseheigth" , Field value also shown the screenshot) . While publishing we got the error "Layer uses an unsupported elevation setting".

Hope you understand my issue.

Have you checked 00236: Layer uses an unsupported elevation setting—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

can't find any examples of a negative extrusion to see if that is the issue

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply , the reason behind the negative values is that,the data which I have is borehole data. I need to render the points underneath of the surface. I am wonder it is accepting in ArcScene but not i ArcGIS Pro.

Hi Dan,

Even positive value is also not working, it throws same error ("00236: Layer uses an unsupported elevation setting"). For better understanding of my issue I am attaching a screenshot.

Did you try to pre-calculate the difference * 10 into a new field and then use the option just above... ie use a 'field' rather than an expression

Re: Issue in base height expression (ArcGIS Pro)

JayakumarKamalakkannan — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 09:59:35 GMT

Hi Dan,

Yes I tried that option also , it is not working.It is accepting only the optio "Geometry Z-Values".

Re: Issue in base height expression (ArcGIS Pro)

DanPatterson_Retired — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 10:42:59 GMT

strange... the only other option I could suggest is converting it from a polygonz to a polygon file with the calculation done within the table and see whether the 'a field' or 'and expression' works in that scenario.

Re: Issue in base height expression (ArcGIS Pro)

JayakumarKamalakkannan — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 13:36:34 GMT

I have tried that too also ,it is not accepting other than the option "Geometry Z-Values". I think it is serious bug

Just to chime in on this and add to the 'I think it's a bug' pile.

Pro 2.01 / ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1

I've got a multipatch polygon that is exaggerated by 400:

And when I try to share the layer to my portal, I see the same error as reported above:

However, when I remove the exaggeration (back to 1, default) the error disappears:

It appears as though any amount of exaggeration causes the share web scene/share web layer tool to throw up 00236.
