Your belief is correct. ArcGIS Server Standard can serve ArcGlobe (3dd) services.  You do need 3D Analysts to create the ArcGlobe Documents (3dd). Mark Thank you.  Technically, I was able to confirm this as well. ... View more

I have ArcGIS Server 10 Globe services based on 3dd files.  These work great in ArcGlobe, but when added to ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGIS Explorer crashes.  I tried on two different client machines and ArcGIS Explorer crashes on both. Can ArcGIS Explore consume Globe Services? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks! For whatever reason, the globe services started working.  Not sure what I did, but it appears resolved.  Please disregard. ... View more

Hi Jerry, I'm afraid not, there's no changing of the ribbon possible at run time. The contents of the ribbon tabs are all worked out when the application loads, for example any new Add-Ins are found and loaded into the Add-Ins tab at that point. I dont even know any ways that you could work around this behind the scenes I'm afraid. Since the nmf is XML, we are building this on-the-fly and launching it. ... View more

How do users know when points are stacked on top of each other without clicking?  I do not believe your explanation solves this issue? We have roughly 200+ combinations of icons that could be stacked on top of each other at one time.  Based on a smaller subset, we will create icon images on-the-fly to represent multiple points stacked on top of each other.  We will assign the new icons on-the-fly to graphic points in the globe.  This works for now.  Thanks. ...

Jerry, I believe, you are referring to interacting bit. In ArcGIS Explorer we've solved it by clicking directly on graphics. Once clicked, mini-window appears listing graphics identified at that location.    [ATTACH=CONFIG]3915[/ATTACH] How do users know when points are stacked on top of each other without clicking?  I do not believe your explanation solves this issue? ...

What do you recommend for 3D view?  Our WMS services are very pixelated.  We would like to improve this.  Thank you. Is it ArcGIS Explorers 2D or 3D display? If 2D, you could set the map coordinate system to be the same as your WMS service. http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisexplorer/1500//en/index.html#map_properties_coordinate_systems.htm That will give the best performance as well as the best display.  When the ArcGIS Explorer map coordinate system is set different from the data, it reprojects on the fly.

Both of these coordinate systems have equal performance in 3D if they are fully cached map services. Our map services are not cached because we need to be able to toggle individual layers on and off in the globe.  In this case, what is the recommended projection for the best performance?  Apparently, you cannot turn on and off individual layers with multilayer cache map services in ArcGIS Explorer?  Also, they may no longer be recommended?  Thanks! ...
