Good news -- We're currently working on this! Development is progressing well and we plan to include either in our upcoming release in August, or the subsequent release in December.    It would be great to find out more about how you're planning to use this new layer type: Have you built your own native mobile viewer?  Which of the Native Maps SDKs did you use? Which version are you currently using? Which 3D view are you using - the global scene view or the new local scene view?  What type of data are you displaying with Gaussian splats, e.g. urban areas, utility infrastructure, natural environment?  How did you capture the data?   Thanks Mike ...

Hi, I believe your question is: "Has this problem been solved? I'm having the same issue."   This thread is an old issue that relates to support for Apple Silicon macs, which was added in April 2023. Please create a new post about the problem you are seeing, and include as much detail as possible (operating system, software versions, workflow).   Thanks ... View more

Hi, Does your machine meet the system requirements? (System requirements for 2.2.0 | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine | Esri Developer) What are the format settings on your system (e.g., decimal symbol)?   Thanks ... View more

Hi Troy, It's possible the 21-day trial ArcGIS Online account may not support creating API key credentials - I'd need to investigate further. In the meantime, I recommend signing up for a free ArcGIS Location Platform account which will enable you to create & manage your API key credentials, try out the samples, follow the tutorials, etc. Sign up | ArcGIS Location Platform Thanks   Mike   ...

Hi, When you say you need to "retrieve the entire footprint of the integrated mesh dataset." -- do you mean the exact polygon outline, or a bounding box / extent envelope? Thanks ... View more

Hi, That dialog is expected, depending on what version of Unreal Engine you are using. But once built, then you should be able to use the SDK in your project, explore the sample content, etc.    When you say your project won't start, can you provide more detail about what's happening?   Thanks ...

Hi Tore, Sorry to hear you've found what appears to be a behavior change. Couple of questions: Before updating to v2.2, were you using v2.1 (August 2025)? Does this only affect ArcGISIntegratedMeshLayer or do you see this for other layers too? Is the service you're using unlit? Do you see this in the editor or only in packaged projects/apps? Are you applying custom materials using the layer MaterialReference property? Are your projects failing to build/run or do they run and it is a visual difference? Can you provide a screenshot or video? Can you share details of the source service (if we can access)?   Thanks   Mike ... View more

Awesome, thanks for the update! ... View more

Hi, As you’ve found, all the layer types currently supported by ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine are in the form of tiled/cached layers – 3D Scene layers, 3D Tiles layers, Image tile layers, and Vector tile layers. These provide the greatest performance in client applications when working at global scales and/or on resource-constrained devices. Elevation sources can come from those Image tile layers, either as tile packages (.tpkx) or web elevation layers / cached map services. The key aspect to note is that when creating the tile cache, the image tiles need to be LERC encoded to be recognized as elevation (there is some basic info on LERC in the guide topic Elevation | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine | Esri Developer, but I can see it would benefit from additional doc on this scenario – I’ll open a new issue for us to follow up). To create these LERC encoded image tile packages for elevation, follow steps 2 & 3 in the section “Create a tile package for a web elevation layer” in topic Share a tile package—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation. I’ve summarized the steps below individually but of course you can combine in a script or model to make the process repeatable or automated if needed.   To summarize: Step 1. Use Manage Tile Cache (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation to create the LERC encoded tile cache. The parameter Input Tiling Scheme must be set to either: Elevation tiling scheme OR WGS84 Version 2 elevation tiling scheme. Note “Elevation tiling scheme” means the tiling scheme of the ArcGIS elevation service, which is Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (3857) e.g. https://elevation3d.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldElevation3D/Terrain3D/ImageServer. If you need an alternative spatial reference (you mentioned local scenes) then you will also need to use the Generate Tile Cache Tiling Scheme (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation tool. The output is a tile cache folder on disk. Step 2. Use Export Tile Cache (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation to generate a tile package from the tile cache created in Step 1. The parameter Export Cache As should be set to Tile package (tpkx). The output is a .tpkx file on disk.   Regarding your question Also is this only going to work if I have 3D and Spatial analyst modules licensed and active? – No, both the geoprocessing tools you will use above are available at ArcGIS Pro Basic license level (Named User license type of Creator or higher).   Thanks ...

Hi, Sample is coming soon - here's the branch (currently in review): GitHub - Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-unity-samples at mas12517/Identify-Sample   Thanks  ... View more

Hi, You can edit existing Shapefiles, but the API doesn't support creating new Shapefiles from scratch (we're gradually migrating away from Shapefiles in favour of mobile geodatabases which are smaller, faster, smarter cross-platform SQLite-based databases). Shapefiles derive from Class FeatureTable - you'll find the editing methods there. To create mobile geodatabases from scratch see Create mobile geodatabase | ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET | Esri Developer.   Thanks   ... View more
