Answer: Enable the Information Model on the Parcel Fabric prior to attempting to use workflows. ... View more

There doesn't appear to be 🙂 We create custom response zones which are different enough from ESNs that the ESN layer can't be used. Although I would appreciate a template or workflow for applying ESN values to road ranges. ... View more

Brian, As it turns out, I'm working on the exact same thing. We're using the RoadCenterline feature class as it does have fields for ESN left/right and MSAG left/right. I don't even care to try and understand what the rest are for right now. When you state that ESN and PSAP are domain entries - the version of the LGM I'm using (10.2), they don't appear to be set up that way. Has that changed with newer versions? I suppose you could force them to be domain based if you so choose; not a bad idea! What sort of layer are you using to store your ESN shapes? That's what I found to be missing from the LGM. ...

Aaron, We've simply appended extra fields onto the schema of layers in the parcel fabric. The original LGIM schema is intact, so the fabric operates as expected, templates work, etc., but we have the added information stored in the appended columns. We're also starting to use a series of relates and .lyr files for more common and repeated functions. --Sallie ... View more

Have you looked at the Building layer in the FacilitiesStreets dataset? It's a poly layer, but I see no reason you couldn't use the schema and have a point layer instead. The description of that layer indicates that it's a subset of another layer only representing buildings managed by a local government or other land holder. ... View more

Now I'm with you. You've got me on this one .  They appear to be a property of a feature and not stored in the attribute table, which is what you likely discovered before posting here. Best of luck -- would love to know the answer. ... View more

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Are you asking about the origin of the annotation? If so, that's stored in the ParcelFabric_Lines feature class as Distance. The Distance is updated automatically as you edit the ParcelFabric_Parcels feature class. ... View more

Blaine, You are correct, there does not seem to be a place in the model for this kind of data. It's really good idea though, as many college campuses, medical facilities, and military installations have this sort of infrastructure. I'd recommend submitting an idea to ESRI: http://ideas.arcgis.com/ For now, however, you could probably create your own feature dataset and feature classes that is similar to other LGIM data. --Sallie ...

It would be nice if links to all the different versions of the LGIM Data Models were made available as the current version isn't the version we're working with! ... View more

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the DD, but still finding some ambiguity. For example, the field STRCLASS is defined as "The class designator assigned to each assessed structure and used to quantify the quality of the structure." I'm hung up on the QUALITY part of that, although I don't think the term is used in the proper context here. Our parcel database has multiple options that might work for STRCLASS (Structure Class: single family, townhouse, office, etc. OR Structure Style: ranch, split level, bank, restaurant, etc.). But if we're talking QUALITY, I've got two condition fields as well. Or does that information belong in the CLASSMOD field, defined as" The class modifier assigned to each structure and used by the assessor to adjust the value of a specific structure?" My line of thinking was that if I could see what others had done, I might be able to figure out what is best for us. I downloaded the sample GDB for the ArcGIS for Local Government Tax Parcel Editing solution and found the attribute table largely underpopulated, which wasn't helpful. Any insight would be appreciated! ... View more

I didn't get any errors when installing it. There is a version for 10.1 and a version for 10.2 but I'm sure I installed the 10.1 version. ... View more

Nice blog! I definitely was missing the "Save" step. It seems that if I was willing to click "OK" on the error messages as they appeared (7x per message), then X-Ray would do what it was supposed to do despite the errors. I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot of issues with X-Ray and would like to get my issue fixed, but for the moment I can start importing data at least. ... View more

We are implementing Land Based Classification Standards in our geodatabase (Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS) ). Basically, There are 5 dimensions that are used to model land use for each parcel. I've set it up so there's a one to many relationship from the parcels to each of the 5 dimensions. It runs as a relationship class based on the unique parcel ID. I was able to glean information from an existing tax assessment database to fill in about 30% of the data for the dimension tables. The remainder will have to be completed through "windshield" surveys or by looking at each location on Google maps and manually typing the dimension values. Thankfully, we're a small municipality. Good luck! ... View more
