The 3D basemaps solution can be used by mapping technicians to create and maintain a 3D basemap for their organization, leveraging existing data such as lidar, building footprints, meshes and underground utility features.
The February 2021 release of the 3D basemaps solution has some great enhancements:
- Mesh support: besides publishing and modifying meshes using standard Pro tools, this solution release also allows you to modify existing web scenes reducing the need to republish a mesh from Pro after every modification:
Besides the new mesh support, we also added:
- ability to color trees in lidar point clouds. By popular demand, we have added a workflow to colorize tree points in your lidar using aerial imagery. This is a great way to visualize vegetation in your scene without having to extract tree features.
