it looks like your publishing from Pro. Have you tried going into managing your portals and logging in to the portal using a normal log in and not the rest.  though you really got me, it should not be truncating the d my log into our portal used in the example is simply  https://maps.mycompany.com/arcgis  good luck  ...

We don't have our rest visible.  when we publish from pro or arcmap we publish to a string similar to this https://maps.mycompany.com:6443/arcgis the rds is the other option. Our rest is hidden.  Though it really should not make a difference.  This is odd. I asked couple other guys here. We have dozens of services spun up with D's in them  ... View more

We found sinks mess up the model.  It is electricity and goes from Sub to meter.  There is no need for sinks in electric.  Sinks are more useful in situations where gravity plays a roll such as sewer system.  or pumps that are a sink and a source.  A sink at every meter is not necessary as they are the end of every geometric network, or opens or open switches.  ...

What I meant was get the contours.  In my state we have lidar derived contours. We had a similar project.  I acquired the lidar data and created 1 foot contours.  I think there are tools with analyst to calculate what your looking for based on slope.  Ours was a little more tricky in that it was for transmission lines and we tried to calculate in also the sag in the line between towers.  ...

So if your segment is 100 feet long in the shape length the actual length would be  100.019998 your change in area would be 4,000.79992 add them all up and you get a pretty close estimation of change in area.   ... View more

do you have 3D Analyst? If not there is not much to tell you. If you do then there is way to much to tell you about how to get it done the easy way The diagram below simplifies your issue. This represents the same stretch of road. from the side the elevation changes. Hence the road on top is longer in reality. here is a work around.  If you only have 10 miles or so not an issue.   working on a copy of your data get the contours for your area.  even intervals  i.e. 2 feet, 1 foot etc. Break your roads at the contours.  if your contours are 2 foot.  use simple math in an excel spreadsheet  a =  shape length b =  absolute change in elevation  c =  calculated length In reality this should work on hundreds of miles of road as easily as it would on a mile.  Just a larger spreadsheet. ...

shouldn't your address include a :6443 or some such in the address.  and should you be publishing to your Rest services directly.  We have our not visible.  ... View more

If you want to be more precise buffer the initial center line by 20 (makes 40 foot wide when done) Then create a second buffer using 40 feet.  the shape area field created will give you a precise set of numbers. 10000 feet of road at 40 feet = 400000 ft square. 10000 feet of road at 80 feet = 800000  Essentially you double the width of a road you double the area.  ...

Then I think you would need to draw it in as it would appear in the wild.  Switch Stations with multiple switches and make it correct.   Our company models from the Generator all the way to the distribution substations, via transmission subs.  You don't need every component of the sub (we did though) For for every switch gear you would need a point representing each direction flow can go and enable or not enable as necessary.  ...

There were two Dr. Bixby's at SCSU.  Husband and wife.  He passed away several years ago. Pretty much started the GIS Program and Lab up from nothing.  And your also in Minnesota so I was wondering.  ... View more

don't use sinks in a electric geometric network.  If your not tracking from the generators (they would be the Source) then do not include them in your geometric network. Make your substations the source. Do not use sinks. ... View more
