I'm new to ArcGIS, and I've created a simple 3D scene and would like to export it to pdf or another format to share. However, all the different outputs I have tried are very low quality, both vector and raster export file types. The exported scene looks blotchy, rasterrized. The labels are barely legible. Has anyone produced a quality output from an ArcGIS Pro Scene? I'm really scratching my head on this one today.  ... View more

Dear ArcScene users. How would you like to be able to be able to "pause the drawing" in ArcScene like the  option in ArcMap, which allows the user to temporarily suspend all drawing so you can make changes to your map, such as changing the symbology of several layers, without having the map redraw after each change. ArcScene does not have this feature. It would be soooooo useful. Especially since  high resolution layers can take a very long time to draw.! I posted this idea on the ArcGIS ideas web site about a year ago. I just looked and it only had a few votes...If pause a 'apuse drawing' button is something that would be to your benefit, please vote on the ideas page that is run by ESRI. You can follow this link http://esri.force.com/ideaView?id=08730000000brba&returnUrl=%2Fapex%2FideaList%3Fc%3D09a300000004xET%26category%3DArcGIS%2BDesktop%2BExtensions%26p%3D3%26sort%3Drecent, or google this: "Add the "Pause Drawing" option in ArcScene" to get there. Thanks a million!!!! ... View more

Hello All, I would like to record a flyover and make it into a short animation to show during presentations. I have experimented with this before, when I ran the 3D Analyst trial a while back. I found that I could export a fly over to avi, which I could then play in a simple player such as Windows Media Player. I was asked to record a fly over for a client  and am about to embark in that journey.  I would really like to know what other users out there are doing? If you have done this kind of thing before, I would love to get your insight: What methods are you using to export the best resolution possible? What format are you exporting to? Is there a file type that works best What are you using to edit the output files? Is there any freeware that can be used to edit the outputted "animation" Any tips/tricks you can share that would save me some grief in the next few weeks? I appreciate any feedback! Thanks in advance! Marishka ... View more

Hello to you all out there! I am using Raster Clip (in Data Management) to Clip a raster with a polygon feature class. The raster and the polygon are in the same projection/datum, and I have set my environment settings. I have used this tool successfully before, but am getting a strange output this time around. The clip works but there are a few places where pixels outside the polygon are part of the output. I have attached a screenshot of the output. The outline is shown in pink around the raster...The cells that are outside are much darker (lower elevation) I have tried different environment settings...adding the two layers to a new ArcMap session, rebooting.....  I am running out of ideas....hopefully someone has encountered this before has a suggestion.

I have been using ArcScene for a few months now, and am surprised to see that there is no North arrow option... Indeed, I cannot find a way to add a North Arrow to any scenes. Am I missing something? Seems very very strange indeed. You would think that GIS software would include a North Arrow nad scale bar option at a minimum. I must be missing something! I have made a manual north arrow, using ArcMAp and a shapefile for another project, but it seems like this is not the way to go (it is very time consuming). Any ideas from users. Any input from ESRI? Any comments/suggestions/ideas are appreciated. Marishka. ... View more
