When you select the extrusion, are you selecting the minimum height?  Or are you selecting the Base heights?  Could that option have changed without notice? ... View more

Here is the link for the help documentation and quote.  However, the tools are not always active when working with LAS datasets and the 3D Analyst toolbar tools. The 3D Analyst toolbar tools are only available when a LAS dataset is displayed as a full resolution triangulated surface. A full resolution surface is indicated in the table of contents when 100% of points are being used to construct the triangulated surface. When the LAS dataset is displayed as a point set the tools will be disabled. To learn more about how to obtain a full resolution triangulated surface see: LAS dataset scalability. ... View more

On the one that works, can you use the Layer to 3d Feature Class tool to create a multipatch and see if the multipatch will display on the 'bad' computer?  If the video card will not even display that feature than the issue may be the video card.  If it will display it then there has to be an issue with the setup or confusion between the coordinate system and layer. ...

I would take a look at the interpolation tools in Spatial Analyst to create the output.  You will not want to convert the points to a raster and then do the interpolation.  You will need to keep the csv as points and then use them in one of the interpolation tools. I am not sure what 'R' is, but all the tools are available with Spatial Analyst to create your raster. ... View more

If you projected the file and then you saw that it failed to display, then ArcPad cannot fix that.  If your uncompressed size of your .sid is 4.6 Gigs, than the projected Tif will be at least that size.  Be sure that you have that much room to create a file like that and if you are using a network location, it will not time out.  This time I would check the size of the file created and the display.  If the output is bad again then could also be the version of ArcMap you are using.  If you have ArcGIS 10, then I would think the Big Tiff, which I am not sure would display in ArcPad anyway.  The best route may be to utilize a LizardTech license and then project it back to a sid in that software.  ArcMap cannot export a sid to maintain the compression.  I would also consider sticking with the coordinate system of the sids and move the vector data, since the exporting and projecting of the sids can create more problems.  I have also been advised to check out the vector data and then add the sids in as an SD card, otherwise the apm will be huge and cause problems. ...

If you would like a more interactive display of the rows and columns, you can also use the Export Data Dialogue that will display the number or rows and columns as you modify the cell size or allow you to input them directly and see the cell size created.  There is some art to this as simply modifying the one value may not create a raster that you want to use and in this case it may be desirable to Clip the raster down.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]18466[/ATTACH] The GRID will look as the screenshot shows.  To display it you have to add what is basically the folder in ArcMap/ArcCatalog.  In Windows Explorer it looks like a folder and the other hidden folders are exposed.  If you have something other than this then it seems as if you are missing data. ...

Did you restart ArcCatalog or just refresh the workspace?  Since you said that the statistics did not appear it seems that they are still not appearing. ... View more

Will the raster display correctly in ArcMap when projected?  Also is the 500 mb the size on disk or the uncompressed size?  You file as a tif may be much larger than 500 mb.  If it is a Big Tiff or larger than 4 Gigs on disk then I do not think that ArcPad will recognize it. For more immediate help, I would also recommend creating an incident with Esri Support rather than a random forum post.  ArcPad Raster Information ... View more

Sarah, I am glad to see that the recommendation to uninstall the other version of python and then repair ArcMap worked to get the process working again.  Thanks for calling Esri Support. ... View more

If you are using version 10 or higher, you can also create the NDVI output with the mosaic dataset as well. ... View more

What raster format are you outputting to?  Have you tried .tif or .img?  If you are outputting to an Esri GRID, I have seen this issue, but never been able to reproduce it in house.  The floating profiles in academic institutions seem to be part of the issue, I would also recommend trying to move the working directory to a local location as well for the processing. I also assume that you have made the necessary changes in the syntax for Raster Calculator to work. ... View more

You have a lot going on in that statement. I am not sure what you mean by 100 meter spacing?  Do you mean 100 meter interval?  Contours are usually reported in terms of intervals not spacing.  Spline is fine for rubbersheeting as some of the other interpolations have other algorithms to balance it, but if you are looking for the interpolation to match the point value at the point then spline works fine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]18360[/ATTACH] There is a older document that discusses the way the interpolations look at the values in the point that helps that I am attaching as well as the document that discusses it from ArcNews.  So once you have the raster you should be able to generate the contours at a 100 meter interval to get the desired results. ...

You show the coordinate system for the layers, but not the scenes.  In general, it has been the opposite that I have seen with regards to video cards.  The Nvidia cards seem to not have issues, where as some of the AMD/ATI cards do.  I would be curious to see if you have any vertical exaggeration set and what the coordinate system of each scene is.  The coordinate system of your layer is meters based, so your coordinate system should be as well. ...
