Hi @SCourter  Is there any way to override the geodesic calculations to use the projected coordinate system of the input data? The geodesic nature of the calculations and the resulting slight differences in the output from what is expected in the PCS is causing issues with our workflows. Example: In NZ the inner horizontal surface and conical surfaces are defined from the edge of the strip, not from the runway centerline. I can approximate this quite well by offsetting the runway to either side by half the strip width (eg. 280/2 = 140 either side). However all the ArcGIS editing tools work in planar coordinates, not geodesic, and so my new runway centerlines don't line up with the generated OIS runway strip edges. These issues just compound at greater distances, as I mentioned in my original post. Another example: say we want to generate labeled points showing distances from the end of the runway strip. This measures from the geometry, which uses the PCS: In my previous response I said 3.5m over 15km isn't enough to be concerned about, but given that there are going to be a bunch of little issues that potentially arise from it, I'm starting to think otherwise.

Hi @SCourter and @Koeller_Christine_A_-_DOT  Of course you are both right, when measuring in geodesic I get the correct distance. We created this surface using Precision Approach Category I Code Number 3 4 I am interested to know what the standard approach for this sort of work is.  We have traditionally built our surfaces in CAD, and I don't know if this has come up before.  To be honest 3.5m across 15km isn't worth worrying about, however it is good to know this is the cause. Thanks for your help, Marc ... View more

We narrowed it down to a web Mercator hosted feature service in a non-web Mercator scene. Try adding some services to a scene where the projections don’t match and see if you can trigger the error. ... View more

It's unfortunate that annotation is not supported in Vector tiles.  It seems to align well with the cartographic nature of vector tile layers as a basemap.  ... View more

Hi @KimiaK  I am planning an upgrade from 11.3 to 11.5 This issue has me concerned. I would like to upgrade knowing a patch is coming. Can you please confirm if this will be addressed in a patch soon, or if it will be delayed until ArcGIS Enterprise 12? Thanks, Marc ... View more

Just as an update for anyone looking for this post 2025: you can do this with smart forms and Arcade. https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/function-reference/portal_functions/   ... View more

Hi @PaytenJarnagin  Hope UC went well. Looking forward to your blog if it is ready to go. Thanks, Marc ... View more

Hi Dan, This is helpful, but the ability to select multiple layers and remove them together is also welcome, as we do not always want to remove all layers, just some or many layers. Thanks, Marc ... View more

Hi @David_Brooks  and @JordanV  Did either of you come up with a workflow for this? I too would like to convert a ground model multipatch to voxels. Thanks, Marc ... View more

Hi @Andrew--Johnson  That’s great news, thanks for the update. If you need beta testers please let me know. marc   ... View more

Hi @Andrew--Johnson , Just checking in to see if you have made any advances in 3D rendering interactions between mesh models and the ground surface. I have tested today in a custom ArcGIS Javascript webscene and the issue still persists. Thanks, Marc ... View more
