Hi Brian, Unfortunately, it does need Advanced licensing. I will make sure the doc gets updated. Regards Gert Gert van Maren Esri Software Solutions C: +64 2040792466 E-mail: gvanmaren@esri.com<mailto:gvanmaren@esri.com> | esri.com<http://www.esri.com/> ... View more

Hi Ryan, You would use "create scene package layer followed by 'share package' Cheers Gert ... View more

Hi Derek, If Ryan's comment did not fix it, please send me some sample data so we can debug it. Thanks Gert ... View more

Hi Emilia, This error is possibly due to incorrect values for minimum flat  or slope roof areas. Keep in mind that the default values are in square feet. If your base data is in meters, you will need to convert these values to square meters. Otherwise if you can send me some sample data, I am happy to see what is going on. Gert ... View more

Hi Javad, The instructions are on those Local Government pages as well under the Get Started tab. Get started overview - Local Government Scenes | ArcGIS for Local Government Just pick the scene you would like to start with on the left - Basic or Schematic. Keep in mind that the quality of the roof forms that created in the Schematic workflow, greatly depend on the resolution of the Lidar data and building footprints. We recommend 3 feet or less point spacing for the Schematic Scene workflow. For the refinement of the roof forms, there is also a helpful video on the Roof Form Extraction page. Cheers Gert ...

Hi guys, We recently released the Local Government Schematic Scene solution. This solution allows you to create LOD2 buildings (roof forms) out of building footprints and lidar. We use 3D and Spatial Analyst to extract information from the lidar such as eaveHeight, Building Height, roof form, roof direction and then use CityEngine rule packages to create the LOD2 buildings. You can download the solution here: Local Government Scenes | ArcGIS for Local Government Web scene: Local Government Schematic Scene Cheers Gert Gert van Maren Esri software solutions ... View more

Hi Himanshu, Please have a look at the terrain dataset. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//005v00000002000000.htm Gert ... View more

Hi, That would be projected coordinates. We recommend doing editing and analyses in a projected coordinate system because of higher accuracy. Thanks Gert ... View more

Hi Zareh, With regards to your question, you don't need the ArcGis 3D Server license to publish a Globeservice. Publishing a Globeservice is available\included with ArcGIS server standard license. No additional license is required. Regards Gert ... View more

Hi Jamie, The flickering is caused by so-called z fighting. The graphics card doesn't know which raster to draw first when they are in exactly the same z location. Common 3D problem. Try offsetting the hillshade layer (layer properties -> base height tab) and see if this improves the display. The problem should be less when you are close up and worse when zoomed out. Cheers Gert ... View more

Hi Patty, The XY center of mass of the SKP file is used to position the model when it comes back in, so if you edit in SketchUp add (for example) a garage, or a new wing, or something that changes the 2D footprint of the building, then it will move on re-import.  There�??s not much we can do about it -> we�??d need to compare the footprint of the old feature geometry and compare it against the new feature geometry and try and �??recognize�?� which point/s haven�??t changed and then lock the re-import to that location.

Hi Chad, Did you have a look at the GP tool: Interpolate Shape? That might do what you want. Regards Gert ... View more
