I don’t know if it’s not normal to export a basemap from ArcGIS, since I haven’t found a solution yet. What I do at this point.</SPAN></H1><P><SPAN style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Create my AOI, and cut my DTM to match. Then I’m not able to cut the basemap, so I’m actually using my AOI frame, to create a screenshot. That can not be the best way, and is defiantly not a great result.</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:54:53 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/basemap-to-cityengine-best-practice/m-p/523836#M7123 KennethLindhardt 2014-08-20T19:54:53Z Re: Basemap to CityEngine best practice https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/basemap-to-cityengine-best-practice/m-p/523837#M7124 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Kenneth,</P><P></P><P>I turn off all other layers in ArcMap then export the basemap to a JPEG with the "Create World File" option checked.
