Add an Elevation Exaggeration notice

There is an Elevation Exaggeration notice in the Elevation Profile tool :

There is an Elevation Exaggeration notice in the Measure (Point) tool :

It would be nice to also have this notice in the Coordinates Bar at the bottom of the screen :

Thank you.

Hello @GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde ,

Thanks for your idea. Having an bottom exaggeration tag for users while it's not default value will eliminate lots of misunderstanding. We'll consider including this enhancement in the short future.

Feel free to share any of your thoughts and ideas with us. We hope you continue to enjoy the journey with ArcGIS Earth!

I have another concern on this topic @Bing_AnChen. The Z values based on the Elevation Exaggeration are not the same on the Coordinates Bar and the other tools :

Coordinates Bar

Elevation Exaggeration of :

0 : Z is set to 0 everywhere
0,01 to 1 : Z values are the right ones
More than 1 : Z values are multiplied by the exaggeration factor

Measure Point and Elevation Profile tools

Elevation Exaggeration of :

0 : Z is set to 0 everywhere
0,01 to 0,99 : Z values are multiplied by the exaggeration factor
1 : Z values are the right ones
More than 1 : Z values are multiplied by the exaggeration factor

Ideally, the Z values would always stay the same, and would not be modified by an Elevation Exaggeration different than 1. But if they do stay modified by the Elevation Exaggeration in future releases, could they be the same in all the tools ? Thank you!

Hello @GeoffroyRicher-Lalonde ,

In the latest release of ArcGIS Earth V1.17, we added a dynamic notification for elevation exaggeration on the status bar once it's not the default value.

We will investigate your additional comments and see if we can bring them to Earth in the future release.

Thank you and happy new year!
