Import XYZ tiles from local path

It is possible to import XYZ Tiles from local path into ArcGis Pro project

I have a xyz tile grouped by zoom levels and I want to import them into ArcGis Pro project

I was trying add data from path command but seems not working with xyz tiles

file:///D:/Lucru/FCC/GIS/Date/VectoriZonaFCC/ZonaFCC/Tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

but not showing anything. The tile service layer was created but seems to be empty.

I was trying the same command in QGIS and the tiles was importing

Thank you

Adrian

same problem here. And I tried the ASCII to Feature Class tool. Doesn't work with ArcGIS Pro, works with ArcMaps and QGis.

If I tried it with Pro the folder with xyz files are shown empty.

What's the problem?

Why?

Hello, I am hitting the same issue. I have tried to add XYZ tiles from a local path using "add data from path" as above, and a command "file://C:/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"

A "tiled service layer" is added to the table of contents, but it appears to be empty?

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.1.

Try it via Toolbox - 3D Analyst Tools - 3D-ASCII in Feature-Class - open the windows explorer and drag & drop your file to the empty space for Data and set your Type on Point-Feature or Multipoint...

You will need to host the tiles locally then add the tile service as http url, same issue with WMTS definitions (it will not load xml directly from file)
