I used the Layer 3D tool then scene layer package did work so thanks for that.  I got it published and i could see feature briefly then they disappear.  I have had that happen before and i fixed by setting layer to On the ground.  Did that and republished.  Now i can see nothing at all.  The layer is there and all but just nothing on the map. Any ideas?  I could share the layer for you. thanks ... View more

I should have said Web Mercator - it is already. I will see on sending the data is is a little big and a bit sensitive data.  Its in sde now. It is not Mutipatch just regular old polygons.  I had forgot to mention that.  I just want the layer to display in scene with attributes.  The layer itself is not 3D.  How do you use a regular large polygon layer in scene? ...

The data is in Web Mercator already. I can never get it to be called a scene layer on AGO.  Always says feature service. Yes to AGO using Pro. Share tab then Web Layer or right click share as web layer.  Also tried layer package.  It says scene layer in the help but I have never seen the word scene on any menu at all. If I run Create Scene layer package then Pro crashes.  1.3 and 1.4 both crash. Also tried the publish from hosted layer option but it never gives that option in the AGO page. Thanks! ... View more

Sounds like you are publishing a service.  If you want a cache of labels build a tile package using Create Map Tile package.  I have done this with labels.  You can also do this with vector tiles if you are going to use it online.   ... View more

Any suggestions when you have more than 2000 features in a HFS?  It will not let me use it in a scene. I tried scene layers for hours but they never work.  Help seems to be from 1.2 so maybe that is why. The vector tiles work great but no attributes.  Even just one attribute would be nice.  I can burn in labels but then can not turn them off.  (can not turn the whole layer off either). Map services allowing linking to a FS for attributes - that would be really nice for vector tiles. thanks for any hints ... View more

Andy - Since you are the only one I know making vector tiles maybe you know this.   Have to found any way to have attributes at all?  Even just one attribute.  This blog post talks about changing the spot elevation response.  Esri Vector Basemaps: Updated Data and New Creative Style | ArcGIS Blog   But I see no way to do this for other layers. Some map services let you point to a feature service when clicked.  This concept would be cool for vector tiles. I also had an idea that if it can have 1 attribute as the blog post says that attribute could be a global id.  That global id would be used to build a query url into a HFS - returning the attributes in a pop up. I have had luck burning in labels to the vtpk.   My main issue has been when using a scene in AGO.  The vector tiles are fast but no attributes.  A HFS can not be used if there are more than 2000 features. thanks for any hints ...

have you looked to see if collector lets you see downloaded areas as a tpk in the file system?  If so you could point Survey123 to it in settings.  That is what I do for my custom app - but all our tpks are prebuilt. ... View more

Has anyone else had the issue where now it will not let you delete the vtpk package once it is published?  I used to be able to but now it says I can not since there is a dependent layer.  Even the help says you can "however once published you can delete the tile package item to further minimize credit consumption."  Seems like a bug? ...

Append tool with a Field Mapping would give a lot of control over this also. ... View more

Do you have a field called Date?  That is reserved and was my issue when that happened. ... View more

Have you tried the ArcRest method I posted?  If so when you look at the result out it will tell you the error it is getting.  Also make sure Sync is enabled on the HFS. ... View more

When I try to add a destination in the app it goes to a numbers only keyboard with no way to add a decimal point and no way to add a space.  I can also not type on a - or type anything but 2 to 3 numbers total.  So it is impossible to add an actual GPS point.  Is this some type of bug or something??  I am using a Samsung S2. Also on this page you say Second, it requires you to be outside and moving so your device can fix your location and determine your direction of travel. But on the disclaimer page on the app it says you must be at a complete stop.  Which is it? ... View more

I found the issue.  If it is in default there are no " " around it but if it is a calculation then you need " ". I can get this code to work when it is not in the calculation of the field itself if(${GPS}= '','45.637665 -122.671670','46.616385 -124.491775') but when i put this if statement in the calculation for the GPS field it does not like that.  Cyclical reference which makes sense.   I guess I will let it default to 0 0 if that is working now.  I will report back if it keeps getting set to null. Thanks a lot   ... View more

Default did not work but Calculation did.  Is there a way to ask if 0 then use I default?  I can not get the code to work. ... View more

That worked thanks.  Are you saying this should not have happened?  I am using 1.8 but it still did that.  Hopefully I can get something like the post below to work. ... View more
