I'm working with two different WMS, one containing land properties (polygons) and one containing approximately 50 different layers of lines and polygons. I’ve built a webapp on AGOL that allows users to visualize and query the layers via pop-ups.   But, I’d like to include a widget that allows my users to select a land property, and then via the widget select all of the lines/polygons contained in the second WMS that intersect/are contained by/contain the land property polygon. Is this possible?   If not, I think my users could make due with a selection tools that selects all objects from all layers within a user-drawn polygon.     Also, if it is possible to generate a report in pdf (or something similar) with the attribute info of each selected line/polygon, that would be icing on the cake. ...

I'm wondering if it is possible to perform a table join in Microsoft Excel with ESRI For Office (similar to what can be done in ArcMap)? I have an Excel-table with two columns: an ID-number and a short information-string. I would like to join this table with a layer published to ArcGIS Online from ArcServer. The layer published to ArcGIS Online contains polygons with ID-numbers corresponding to those in the Excel-file (stored as attribute-values).  So, I'm able to create a "base map" in Excel, and I'm able to read the ArcGIS Online-layer to that map. But I'm uncertain where to go from here. I have tried using the add "From Excel"-tool on the map and selecting either a series of cells or the entire table and then selecting the "place type" of my imported ArcGIS Online-layer (which should work if I'm reading the documentation/help correctly), but the data-import fails consistently on every row in the excel-table. Am I missing something here, or is this type of workflow not possible? ... View more

Hello! I have run into a bit of an issue when exporting from CityEngine to 3D Web Scenes... It seems as if models in some layers are "moved" in different directions. I have attached two screenshots to show what I mean (please ignore the lack of textures and details ;)). Is this a known bug, or am I simply missing some necessary step in the export? I tried narrowing down the potential culprit of the issue, with no luck. I tried: 2 different coordinate systems Exporting just a single building and its corresponding roof (stored in a different file, note that all shapes are stored in shape files with the same projection) Exporting with and without the terrain layer Exporting with and without attributes/object interaction/metadata Exporting both with and without "Geometry as Base64" I'm running 2013.1, and I don't think the issue existed in 2012, but I'm not quite certain. It's possible that I missed it... Anyway: Does anyone know of a workaround to the issue? If not, is it possible to get a hold of a copy of version 2012? I�??d like to show my colleagues how much we could increase our dialog with customers etc. by using 3D online, and this bug isn�??t really helping my case�?� 😉 [ATTACH=CONFIG]30651[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30649[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30650[/ATTACH] EDIT: I just found these two threads, which seem to be dealing with the same or similar issues: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/99404-Some-objects-are-slipping-when-I-share-the-model-on-Web-Scene http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/99307-Polygons-seems-separate-on-web-scene-but-that-are-snapping-each-other-in-project-file Shame on me for not looking hard enough. Seems like this is a known bug in 2013. Any chance of a trial version of 2012 being available? 🙂 ... View more

Hello! I have been playing around with CityEngine a little bit to see if we could use it to generate better 3D-models for our organisation. At the moment we have LOD0/1 bodies (see my first attachment) of all the buildings in our city (approximately 25 000), and we would like to use these existing models to generate (at least) LOD 2 buildings.   So, I am wondering if it is possible to model non-rectangular facades using the Facade Wizard? I have only been able to model rectangular facades using it (see my second attachment, which is a generated facade of the "left wall" in the first image), which isn't quite what we want. Am I missing some functionality in the Facade Wizard, or is it not there? I'm guessing that it would be technically possible to generate a only a rectangular facade, and then generate the "upper triangle" of the wall along with the roof, however since the accuracy of our z-values is rather important for our analyses, I'd rather change as little as possible in the buildings geometry.
