Extract building footprints with the 3D Basemap solution

[Gert_van_Maren]

The February 2020 release of the Local Government 3D basemap solution offers some new exciting functionality. Leveraging improved geo-processing tools in ArcGIS Pro 2.5, it is now possible to extract high quality building footprints from your lidar which in turn can be used to generate 3D buildings with roof forms.

With this new capability, the Local Government 3D Basemap solution now only requires lidar as input to generate a 3D basemap with 3D buildings, 3D trees, building footprints and detailed elevation surfaces. For best results, buildings need to be classified in the lidar and the quality of the resulting footprints and 3D buildings is dependent on the point density of your lidar.

Hello, I am getting a similar error messge, but it is failing on the segment roof parts tool, rather than creating the footprints raster. Aside from the Segment Roof Parts ttol, I am able to run all tools in the 3D Basemaps Solutions package successfully, including the steps that follow in creating the 3D buildings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
