Hi Andrew I have uploaded a small MSPK with a raster elevation source that does not load in Earth Desktop and causes Earth Mobile to crash. It can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n4mVEfrTm_vuQmZ0Ug6hE1BHfvo5tC7v When adding it to Earth Desktop, I get the below error. Note that you need to turn off internet before loading the MSPK in Earth Desktop otherwise it will use the internet to to load an elevation service. Thanks, Mervyn

Are you working with raster or vector data? If it is a raster, as I suspect, it can't be a floating point raster and the raster must have integer values. Then you need to run a geoprocessing tool called Build Raster Attribute Table to create the attribute table.

Hi Andrew Thanks for the feedback. My own fault for not reading the help! We live and learn. The links posted are pretty explicit and very useful. A MMPK does not have that dependency on a basemap so I never even thought of that. I noticed from your blog that you mentioned: Note: ArcGIS Runtime apps on version 100.7 and above support raster layers as elevation sources. As ArcGIS Earth could not read my elevation raster in the MSPK, I gather it has an older version of ArcGIS Runtime? Thanks, Mervyn

Hi Rob To access the raw pixel values, you need to remove the Processing Template. Click on the layer under contents pane then go to Imagery Service Layer > Data the under the Processing group, click on the Processing Template drop down and select None (as in below screenshot). The raw values will be loaded and available for use. I am not sure whether you make use of the Make Image Server Layer gp tool, but it is a great way for working with online imagery. You can set the desired extent, projection (under Environments) and cell size for use in your analysis. Just one point to add if you are not familiar with it, you need to copy and paste in the url for the image service. Just right-click on the image service under Contents pane then select Properties > Data Source to get the url. Make sure to specify the None under Processing Template and band 1 under Bands. Mervyn

Hi CiCi I have spent far too much time on this but at least now I can provide some positive feedback, also for the benefit of others. When I last wrote to you, I could create a MSPK but Earth Mobile would crash as the elevation source used was in raster format (tiff in Web Mercator). In Earth Desktop the imagery would load but not the elevation surface. It could not get the values from the tiff file, but in ArcGIS Pro the MSPK could be successfully loaded. I suspect this is an ArcGIS Runtime limitation. But by including an elevation TPKX file (created using the Manage Tile Cache GP tool) in a Web Mercator projection, the MSPK files would successfully load in Earth Mobile and Earth Desktop. But probably my biggest headache is a bug that is present in ArcGIS Pro 2.6 Beta 3 and ArcGIS Pro 2.5.1 (the two platforms I tested). It is only after you told me that the TPK/TPKX files must be Web Mercator and in a Global Scene that I persisted. My just (1) creating a Global Scene; (2) adding the TPK in Web Mercator; (3) adding the elevation source as a TPK file (also in Web Mercator), I would always get an error message "ERROR 002768: Package blah blah .tpk spatial reference incompatible with Mobile Scene Package" (see below image). However, I finally figured out that it was a bug and that I needed to convert my Global Scene to a Local Scene, change the projection to Web Mercator, then convert the Local Scene back to a Global Scene and then I could create a MSPK. If the imagery and elevation TPK files were in Web Mercator too, then it would also successfully load into Earth Mobile and Earth Desktop. Unfortunately the Beta program closed on Friday. I will try and tag the @ArcGIS Runtime and @ArcGIS Pro teams.

Have you tried an equal area projection? Not sure if this will solve the issue but it may be related to your choice in projection. Where in the world is your study area?

You have used the wrong geoprocessing tool to project your raster. Define Projection is used to assign the correct projection to an existing raster or feature layer. You usually use this when you have received a file generated from some other software that did not include a .prj file, or raster equivalent. See Define Projection—Data Management toolbox | Documentation You must use the Project Raster geoprocessing tool to project a raster to a new projection.

Dear Cici Thank you for the feedback. I notice now that I had confused the issue a bit with mention of SLPKs when I was thinking of MSPK files. Sorry about that. As I had previously received an error message when trying to add a Web Mercator tpk file to my Global Scene and then creating the MSPK, such as the below example. This error message made me believe that it was simply not possible to add a Web Mercator file to a Global Scene. However I did manage to eventually successfully create a MSPK with my satellite image as a TPK in Web Mercator. This MSPK now loads in Earth Desktop however the Earth Mobile app crashes as soon as I add the MSPK file. I think the fault may lie with the elevation surface used in the MSPK. Although I have used a tif file as my elevation surface, with a known projection (and I have tried a few different projections), when I add the MSPK to Earth Desktop, I get an error that the file used as my elevation surface does not have a projection, when it does. See below error message. So in Earth Desktop, the scene loads but is flat with no elevation (when disconnected). I can successfully load the MSPK in ArcGIS Pro and then I get no error messages and the MSPK layers are properly draped over the elevation surface. Perhaps this is an issue with ArcGIS Runtime and raster elevation sources? I will need to explore different formats for the elevation surface, unless you can offer some advice? I suspect I need an elevation tile cache. Thank you so much for your help. Best wishes Mervyn

Dear CiCi Thank you for the feedback and willingness to further explore the reasons this is not working. I have just created a tpk file using ArcMap10.7 and the wgs84_512_tiling_scheme.xml tiling scheme. I then used that tpk to create a slpk using ArcGIS Pro 2.6 beta 3, and the error still persists. I have added these files to a shared folder on Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/open?id=173x5mx6-AuV0TdIYe72XY-FB43HxhAbX Regards Mervyn

As I so wish that Site Scan for ArcGIS was available for Android devices, I have just added the request to develop an Android version to ArcGIS Ideas. So please do vote it up if it is something you too would like https://community.esri.com/ideas/18765

As Esri are platform agnostic, please can you create an Android version of Site Scan app. Based on its history and that Esri purchased it from 3DR, I realise why it is currently only available on iOS devices, however it is an important application for all users who use Drone2Map and related software. Even Quick Capture integrates with Site Scan to leverage the ability for capturing data.

Dear CiCi Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for although surprisingly it has not resolved my problem. I have tested different tiling schemes and on two different computers but I always get the below error message when adding the SLPK to ArcGIS Earth. I usually create my TPKs in ArcMap as Pro still has some issues creating TPK files. I create them using the Create Map Tile Package tool. Here I have tried various tiling schemes including wgs84_512_tiling_scheme.xml. I have also created them in Pro Beta 3. I then add the TPK files to a global scene in ArcGIS Pro 2.6 Beta 3 and create the SLPK using the Create Mobile Scene Package tool. When I try and add the SLPK to ArcGIS Earth, I get the error message about the tilling scheme cant be adjusted to align properly with the current Earth spatial reference. Am I dong anything wrong? I cant figure it out. There is a possibility that this may be a bug in Beta 3 software but I have my doubts. I would love to get this to work. Mervyn

Hi CiCi I realise that tpk/tpkx files can be added as stand alone files to either desktop or mobile versions, but I would like to add a Scene Layer Package that contains a tpk/tpkx of my satellite image. The problem is in creating the SLPK file. If I am correct, to add it to ArcGIS Earth, you can only do so from a global view and therefor the tpk/tpkx must be in WGS 84. The Create Mobile Scene Package tool cant run in a global view if the tpk/tpkx is in Web Mercator. That is why I need to create a tpk/tpkx file that in unprojected so that I can use it in the Create Mobile Scene Package tool. To do so, I need the appropriate tiling scheme. I hope that helps explain the problem. Mervyn

Hi there I would like to create a mobile scene package (SLPK) for use in ArcGIS Earth Mobile. The mobile version of ArcGIS Earth can only load SLPKs with a geographic coordinate system (WGS 84). I would like to add a satellite image to my SLPK so I first need to convert it to a TPK or TPKX file before adding it to the SLPK. It needs to be in the same projection. Creating a tile package in Web Mercator is easy as it is based on the ArcGIS Online/Bing Maps/Google Maps tiling scheme. However it is not so easy to generate the tiling scheme to use in creating a TPK/TPKX file for use in ArcGIS Earth Mobile. I tried creating a few custom WGS 84 tiling schemes but they do not match that which is being used in ArcGIS Earth so they dont load. I get the below error message. "The layer's tiling scheme can't be adjusted to align properly with the current spatial reference .." Can you please provide me with instructions to generate/create an appropriate tiling scheme? Or can you provide me with the tiling scheme xml file? Or am I missing something ? Thank you. Mervyn

Could you please explain, perhaps with an example, what you mean by merging the different information of the common area polygons? Do you want to merge the information obtained in the attribute table?
