Update: @JohnRitsko1 got to the root of the issue. There was an issue with the firewall rules for the port that Urban uses.  ... View more

Hi @GJameson ,  Thanks for following up regarding the docker-proxy.exe file.  It is not required for Urban. The Urban product documentation will be updated accordingly in the second half of November 2025. Thanks,  Dominik ... View more

Hi @Bilguuntugs24  Thanks a lot for your question.  At the moment, Urban doesn't support changing names or adding additional zoning parameters beyond what is already present.  Are you looking to just change the names of the existing parameters or add completely new ones? If you are looking for the latter: Should these parameters also impact the appearance of plausible buildings as you apply building types (as described in the product documentation)? In either case, we would be interested in learning more about your use case. Please feel free to submit an ArcGIS Urban Idea, providing as many details as possible about why you would like to customize the zoning parameters. And if there is a document shedding light on your community's zoning regulations that you could attach to the Idea, even better. The Esri Community Ideas help us better understand our customers' needs and incorporate this valuable feedback in future product development iterations.  Thanks, Dominik ... View more

Hi @JohnRitsko1  Could you locate the file called "urban.env" on your server, open it with a text editor, and share its content via DM (as it contains information that you may not want to share with the entire world-wide-web)? Thanks, Dominik ... View more

Hi @JohnRitsko1  Thank you very much for sharing all those details.  Re your question about CLI binaries & the missing "docker-proxy.exe" I will double-check with one of our developers to verify if there's something missing in the downloaded zips accessible from the link in the documentation, or if the documentation would need to be adapted.  Re your comment about the FAQ section Thanks for your input. I agree that it would be beneficial if the documentation states what to do if the "arcgis-urban" image/the "arcgis-urban" container is not listed. We will review how to improve that part of the documentation to add more value to our customers.  Re getting Urban on your server running From afar, it's difficult to determine exactly what didn't go as it should have. To avoid re-installing the entire system, I suggest trying to load the "arcgis-urban" image manually into Docker.  You can complete the following steps to achieve that: Sign in to the server using the account that also runs the Portal service.  Locate the file called "urban.tar" (this is the Docker image for Urban; it might be suffixed with the Windows Server version e.g. "urban2022.tar"). On Windows servers, it's usually located at "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Portal\framework\etc\urban" Open PowerShell as administrator and navigate to the folder of "urban.tar". Load the image using the command below: docker load -i urban.tar Loading the image can take a while on Windows Servers (usually anything between 15mins and 30mins) Verify if the image was loaded successfully by running the command below: docker image ls​ Once the image is available, it will be picked up by the "Portal service" which will create a container out of it. This might take another couple of minutes. Consider restarting the portal service manually to speed things up a bit.  Double-check for the creation of the "arcigs-urban" container by running the following command: docker container ls --all​ The "arcgis-urban" container should now be listed and you can access ArcGIS Urban from the Enterprise Portal. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.  Thanks,  Dominik ... View more

Hi  @JohnRitsko1 , I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with installing Urban on Enterprise Portal 11.5. Based on your post, it appears that you have already thoroughly followed the instructions outlined in the "Install ArcGIS Urban on Windows" user guide. If you are working with a multi-machine deployment, please ensure that ArcGIS Urban & Docker are installed on the same machine where Portal for ArcGIS is installed. To further narrow down the issue, can you please check the following: Is Docker installed correctly? To check for that, please run the command below in a console (run as administrator): docker run --rm hello-world  If yes to the above, is the ArcGIS Urban Docker container available? Check that by running the following command in a console, and check if an image called "arcgis-urban" gets listed: docker image ls --all  If yes to the above, please verify that the arcgis-urban container is running. To do that, please run the following command in a console: docker container ls --all​ This command will list all Docker containers available on your machine, including their status (running, stopped, or exited) Please feel free to DM me screenshots of the outputs from the commands above. I'm sure we'll get Urban running on your Enterprise 11.5 portal soon. Thanks, Dominik ... View more

Hi @HassanMahmoud_el07  Thanks for submitting this idea.  At the moment, there is no immediate workaround to have internal feedback in Urban on Enterprise that is not relying on ArcGIS Hub. ... View more

Hi @EmilyHamilton , On behalf of the ArcGIS Urban team, apologies for the very belated response to your question. Currently, Urban doesn't allow you to include existing metric values in your metric calculations. We are aware that this can be a hurdle for our users. We are working on solutions to facilitate such workflows in the future, but we don't have a timeline yet on when this will land in the product. As an immediate workaround, consider calculating the existing metric values (i.e., the existing amount of sewer line/power line needed) outside of Urban and then importing the result of such a calculation into Urban as existing metric values.  You can still rely on Urban's metric calculation capabilities to calculate the future number of sewer lines/power lines based on the anticipated future development.  Please feel free to log an idea in the ArcGIS Urban Ideas board for your metrics use case. This allows other users to vote for it and helps us with prioritisation.  Don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.  Thanks,  Dominik ... View more

With Urban's December 2024 release, it's now also possible to input exact dimensions when editing previously created polygons.  Additionally, points and polygon vertices can now be placed at specific coordinates when creating new geometries and editing existing ones.  ... View more

Urban's December 2024 release introduced new metrics.  The new metrics introduce new operators and allow you to base the metric calculation on building measurements (such as the height or number of floors of proposed buildings) as well as on parcel measurements (such as the parcel area or the parcel coverage). To learn more, I'd recommend the following resources: -  What's New blog post - A detailed walkthrough on the new metrics experience - How to convert your metrics to Urban's new metrics - New metrics in Urban's product documentation ...

HI @JustinsChang ,   Thanks for your question.  Currently, Urban only allows you to batch-load Tier 1 setback data. To batch-load setback data beyond Tier 1, we recommend writing a script using the Urban-API.  For this, the following resources might be of interest to you:  The ArcGIS Urban API documentation page  Example for reading and writing data via the Urban API API reference to directly execute Urban API GraphQL queries queries and mutations If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Thanks, Dominik ...

@BrunoSeiler , with the June 2024 update of ArcGIS Urban, you can now input exact dimensions for polygon edge length and deflection when creating new features.  In the near future, you'll also be able to input exact dimensions when editing previously created polygons.  ... View more

With the latest June 2024 release, it's now possible to configure scenario-specific elevation layers not only for projects but also for plans.   For projects: Add the elevation layer to a web scene. Configure that web scene as project scenario context. See the Urban documentation about configuring project scenarios to learn more.  For plans (new with Urban's June 2024 release):  Open the plan scenario settings.  Configure a scenario elevation layer for any of the plan's scenarios. See the Configure scenario settings section in the Urban product documentation.  ... View more
