I would recommend following the instructions here, which refer to either using the Create Ortho-corrected Raster Dataset, geometric function in a mosaic dataset or use the ortho rectify button on the Image Analysis Window. So you should not have to do each band individually, but you will have to follow one of the three paths.  Are you experiencing the bad solution after following one of them? ... View more

Since the files are in sid format now, I would recommend georeferencing the sids rather than trying to adjust the metadata.  It sounds like, per your description, that in the conversion process the spatial reference was lost.  Is that correct? When you look at the properties of the sid, do you see any custom extents?  If you see the same extents from the .tif, then all you will need to do is define the sid's projection with the Define Projection tool.  If you see bad extents in the source properties, then I would recommend georeferencing the sid.  That way you preserve the compression of the sid and then put it in the correct location.  I am including the information on how to georeference the raster, but basically, you should follow these basic steps. 1. Open a new MXD 2. Define the coordinate system you want to georeference the raster to 3. Add in any corresponding reference data in that same coordinate system 4. Georeference the raster by adding control points 5. Update the georeferencing ... View more

I would probably recommend one of the density tools based on your screenshots.  I am not sure if you want to truly interpolate to create a complete surface.  The Point Density tool will probably create the desired output. ... View more

If you have transitioned to 10 then the problem is the VBA.  You need an additional license for the process. There is more information for developers here. ... View more

For the Scene document, do all your your layers have the same projection and coordinate system?  It seems since you have it as being much greater that the units are still off.  I would confirm that values are as expected (feet in xy and feet in z).  There is a bug report out there, but it mentions that the meters selection is actually measuring feet, not the inverse.  For specific help, I recommend opening a Support Incident to test with your data.  I do not think the absence of a custom vertical datum is causing the issue. ...

Usually when you are converting points directly to a multipatch, it is to maintain a symbology that has been applied to the point.  If you are trying to create a surface, perhaps using an interpolation on the points will give you the surface.  You can then use the Raster Domain tool to create your 3d polygon based on the raster.  In this case, you may not need the multipatch. ...

If you are trying to create a 'doughnut' effect then you can achieve the results with the Export Data function and select 'Inside.'   This should perform the inverse clip that you are trying to create.  Per the Help, alternatively, you can check the Clip Inside option to remove the data within the graphic and keep the rest of the data. ...

The Lookup tool should work in model builder.  I think that you are getting 010006 errors or insufficient arguments, which is prompting the unable to set the spatial extent error, 010327.  Both point to the issue that the model does not appear to be recognizing your raster.  I would be sure that the syntax is correct or since it is a model, the process that is creating the raster you are trying to use in the Lookup tool has been created, before the next action takes place. ...

No problem.  The only comment I have is that if you like the answer or feel that the post warrants recognition, do not forget to vote up on the right side or mark the question as answered when you have one.  I am glad that it worked out for you. ... View more

There is a tool in Military Analyst that will perform the action, called the Highest Point.  You can download the information here.  At 10, the information is available in the Visibility and Range Template in the toolbox provided with the download. ... View more

For the Zone field what did you select? ID or Gridcode? Also for your Flood layer, is the value the corresponding field from the original polygon or should that be the 'pixel' field?  In my thought process the value raster will be a continuous raster with the flood data as the value.  It appears that the actual value that is being surveyed in your analysis is the id from the original polygon.  What I would recommend is to use the Lookup tool to create a new raster based on the 'pixel' field if that is the one that you desire.  From there, you can join the table created with the polygon 'zone' feature class with the key field being the 'zone' field. The output will be based on that zone and will have the inundation value in the pixel field as being surveyed. ... View more

You can make imagery that you add to ArcGlobe as normal, but to affect the ArcGIS Online layer, you must use the 3d Effects Toolbar.  You can utilize the layer transparency there. ... View more
