Hi ömer, Take a look at this site about importing fbx data: Help - Edit: This thread should probably be moved to the City Engine place. ... View more

Hi Coy, This is a big question and I am very curious to hear what you find out. Have you thought about contacting your local Esri rep to bounce ideas off of them and see what they have to say? Sometimes this could prove to be fruitful and other times... well, we can always hope for the best! ... View more

Thinking of this more, if you do not have data, you can go to CalTrans website and download their cities in a shapefile. Then you could just manually filter the cities by name that are North of Hwy 92 (this is likely your best bet with the situation you are in). California Cities click on the link above and scroll down to Cities2015.zip link. ... View more

Pinar, Are you referring to Hwy 92 in the Bay Area (and I assume California too)? There are a ton of cities in that northern half of California. It would take a very huge map to be able to show all of those legibly. If you utilize ArcGIS Online, you might just want to use a Basemap so you can interactively zoom in and out to see cities and location. Do you have city data for California cities? If so, this would be a different situation. ... View more

Hi Asaf, According to the documentation, map packages can be opened in any ArcGIS software version 10.0 or higher, so the versioning shouldn't be an issue. Did you create this map package? Or did you get the package elsewhere? Is there a way that you can upload the map package to this thread so that others can test it? ... View more

Lahmer, That is a very big question. There are a lot of differences and a lot of similarities. In a sense, a shapefile is a feature class - the big difference is how they're stored. Broadly, shapefiles are an older format whereas geodatabase feature classes are newer. With newer technology, file sizes are smaller, processes are quicker, and (typically) storage is cleaner. Realistically, you likely want to be using geodatabase feature classes when working with your data. There are many resources out there that explain the differences between shapefiles and feature classes. This site provides a nice explanation between the two: Shapefiles vs. Geodatabases - Duke Libraries Data & Visualization Services There are some good places to start on Esri's site as well: What is geodata?—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  ...

Hi, this website lists the supported languages for ArcGIS Online: Set language and region—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS It also explains how to set the language. ... View more

Hi Pinar, ArcGIS Online does not allow for "selecting by location" (at least, not very easily). This will likely be something that will need to be done on the desktop side and then published to the web (for the easier and faster approach). Do you have GIS feature class or shapefile that has the city boundaries already? Or are you wanting just points for the cities (as opposed to polygons)? ... View more

Hi Maya, It looks like you cannot symbolize (change style) based on a date field in ArcGIS Online. You may be able to create the symbology on the desktop end when you publish it. And you may want to make a string field (or numeric field) that would reflect the records in your date field. Best bet is to make three different numeric fields (month, day, and year) and then you can change the style in ArcGIS Online freely of these three fields. There are really a lot of combinations you can do in order to get around this hurdle. It will all depend on your application and what you need to do. ... View more

Hi Lahmer, Were you getting an error when you were trying to save the file? It likely was a schema lock. Usually shutting all ArcGIS software programs down and just opening one helps to solve this problem. It is good that a shapefile worked - this means that the data is ok. Maybe try your feature class again (or overwrite your feature class with your newly created shapefile)? ... View more

Antoine, there are a few typo errors in your code that you have posted (just briefly glancing through this, I see "opyFeatures_management" which is missing the letter "c". Also, for your path strings, you should put an "r" in front of the path to make it the raw path: r"C:\Users\Antoine\Desktop\test" since it is reading it differently (looking at the "\t", etc.) What python editor are you using? You might consider something like PyCharm or PyScripter (both free) that will find errors like this and give suggestions. ... View more

Hi Antoine, To reiterate what others said, consider using the code block in the forum post: use Advanced Editor in the thread and click on the double arrows, go to syntax then Python: I like the commenting you have done in your code, it helps for others to see. Have you tried running your code to see if it works? You may want to how you format your path strings. There are many different ways to do this, here are some examples: In your DeleteFeatures_Management, you do not have quotes around your layer name. From looking at other lines of code in your block, you will need those quotes. ... View more

Hi John, Dan has some great resources that should help answer a lot of your questions. A story map is a web mapping application that is essentially a web site. So, if your map is public, then you can email the link of the map to anyone and they can view it (otherwise, you can share it just with a group in your organization and they can view it the same way, with a web address). (see this link for examples on sharing Share maps, scenes, and apps—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS ) For example, this is a map I found on Esri's site that is shared publicly. It is a link that I can give to others so that they can view the story map: http://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=137a8e9e12074f73979f9407d09b5133 ... View more
