Thanks Dan, I also tried using the field name as well and the result was still the same. So I tried using the shape@length for the featureclass(s) to see if the result would be different but the result didn't change. I am under the impression that the issue perhaps lies in the database itself and its permissions, but one of our dbas is looking into it.

Thanks Dan, Does the shape field also read the length field as well? I just need the length field for a report that the script prints out with details on the specified feature classes with their total combined lengths for each record and print a text file of those total lengths.

Thanks forestknutsen, I haven't tried using sql from python and I don't quite know the what correct module is needed to access the sde database or if there is already an existing module that is installed in python that will allow me to access the sde database. Do you know if the module is already there when python is installed or is there another module that you are using to access the database? I have been looking and I think there is an already installed module, but I am not sure if the module that is installed has full SQL querying capabilities or if it is limited. If it isn't too much to ask, would you mind letting me know. I am trying to generate several reports simultaneously and for the most part, the script works but there is the issue of this single dataset that for some reason is prohibiting the length field from being read for some of the feature classes.

Hi, So I came across a very strange issue, one that I never had issues with previously and then all of sudden I started having issues. The issue is the length field for one of the feature classes isn't reading for some reason. It was able to read in the past but now it doesn't seem to be reading it. I have tested it in a notebook as well as a standalone script. import arcpy import sys import os workspace = * sewerin_fcs = * ws_split = os.path.split(workspace) fcs = [] walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace, datatype="FeatureClass") for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk: for filename in filenames: #Get feature class name fcsname = os.path.basename(filename) name = os.path.splitext(fcsname) y = name[1].lstrip('.') if y == sewerin_fcs: fcs.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename)) for fc in fcs: fc_fields = [] important_fields = ['OBJECTID', 'SHAPE@LENGTH'] allfields = arcpy.ListFields(fc) for field in allfields: #print field.name if field.name in important_fields: print (field.name) When the script finishes running, this is the printed result. standalone script. Jupyter Notebook script It appears that the database in which these fields are sourced is the issue. When I checked all of the feature classes in the database that also have this field, the script wasn't working. I don't know if has something to do with field visibility or a setting within the database itself. The script creates a detailed report of all the important feature classes within multiple databases within the default sde databases and compares those feature classes to the multiple databases within our production database. I am not sure how this issue can be resolved, but it is something that I don't quite know on how to trouble shoot. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me with this issue.

Thanks Philips for letting me know. I wasn't sure if this capability existed or if there might be a work around for it. The reason being is that Geoevent only updates every 5 seconds at the max, at least as far as I remember, and I was looking for a way to show the transition a bit more smoothly. I figured that this isn't something available currently, but I think there might be some extraneous workarounds that might get me close. I will conduct some more research to see if there might be something that could make this possible. Thank you very much for letting me know. As for the Javascript API, I think that I could potentially show two separate animations, where one animation turns off as the other turns on. In terms of that trigger, I will conduct further research into the javascript platform to see if this could potentially be done as well. -Robert

Hello, So I have a curious question in regards to changing animations based on attribute changes. I am working on a 3D project and I would like to enable different animations to trigger based on an attribute change in the 3D model. For example, and animation for an elevator as it changes floors in a facility. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. -Robert

I would also like to chime in on this as well. Our field crews consist of 4 teams and each team has one toughpad, which also has a built in dedicated GPS unit, that they use to collect data for us using collector. The toughpads have Windows 10 OS on them. We went with Windows 10 simply because our IT group said that Windows 10 devices are easier to secure, troubleshoot, update, and pretty much just about everything else. We had asked about the other OS devices and the issues they had with those is that troubleshooting iOS devices are difficult, especially if there are account issues, repairs are difficult due to cost and that only Apple or any of their licensed repairers can fix them. The issues they have with Android are primarily due to the security and lack of updates. The benefits of having Windows 10 is that it is easier to update and secure a Windows 10 device, making adjustments to the toughpad itself is relatively easy, and it is also easier to troubleshoot. The other benefit with having Collector on Windows 10 is that I can install the application onto my work computer and, if needed, make changes to the edits that our crews make out in the field without having to open another application. I know that IOS and Android Devices have a larger user base with mostly all having use of those operating systems/devices which is why most tend to stick with supporting those devices. Despite that, and seeing that Windows 10 devices may also be relatively supported, given that there is greater flexibility with Windows it wouldn't hurt per-say to have some kind of application created for those devices.

Hello Jon, I have yet to test this myself, but I am hoping to get the chance to eventually do so because I am the kind of person who would rather have more options on hand rather than a select few. If I can incorporate other solutions or create my own using what I already have access to then I would prefer that route. I will share with you what I find when given the chance.

‎05-22-2020

Hello Jon, I figured that may be the case. The reason I am looking into this as a solution is that with a standalone table is that I can update the attributes using PowerApps and, as long as there is a unique ID created, I believe it is theoretically possible to update the table using PowerApps and then using a python script to update a feature class or tie the table in as a related record. The other reason is, compared to Survey123, rather than having to rely on a separate service to have to connect to, I can use PowerApps to keep the table fields and structure as is and have it update using the PowerApps form. The flexibility and control that comes with PowerApps is the other reason I have been looking into this.

‎05-22-2020

Hey Jon, I was simply talking about being able to edit data in either a related table or the attributes of a feature class through a PowerApps form. I noticed in PowerApps that there is the ability to connect to a data source through a SQL server and since most GIS Enterprise Databases are also on SQL servers, I thought there might be a way to connect to the data in a SQL server that updates the attribute data of a feature class when the form is updated. I was asking if anyone knew of a similar set up or something akin to it.

What Title Defines the GIS Profession? · ‎05-20-2020

What title defines the GIS profession - whether it be Geospatial Analysis or Spatial Science? Around the country and across the globe, Universities, Colleges, and others offer teachings in the foundation of GIS. Their fields of study can vary between them, whether that field is called GIS or Spatial Science. How are these different or how are they the same? Many of these students become professionals, but what is the title of that profession? Using Survey123 as well as other tools, we look to explore the many ways in which the title of GIS can be standardized. My coworker and I started this because of several reasons, and the biggest being the different answers we knew that we would get. Internet searches of GIS related programs or job postings show many ways the field can be defined. Down below is the link to the survey to determine what you believe the profession's title should be. We will be presenting these findings at the 2020 Esri User Conference and hopefully many others. The survey takes anywhere between 1 minute to 2 minutes roughly. For anyone who is in the field of GIS or works in GIS regardless of country or place of work, we encourage you to take and share the survey. If you have any questions or other things to note, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Thanks Sapna. I hope they could eventually add the improvements to ArcGIS Online since it would only make sense to do so. I can try and see how it will test on our portal and let you know if there are any issues.

Actually my colleague and I found out about this app, which we think is far superior than anything they have created in the past. ArcGIS Experience Builder

Hi Dan, So I am not very familiar with marking things on here aside from either helpful or correct. When you say "Mark this as answered" is there a particular manner in which you can mark these comments as answered, or do I simply click on the 'Assumed Answered' at the top or 'Mark Correct' in the comment with the correct response. I am unfamiliar with this since I am not on here as much, but if you wouldn't mind letting me know then I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Dan, So I was able to get it to work just fine in pro. I never thought about combining the single part to multi-part. I ran a test and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much for the pointer. Robert
