Changing the map projection after being set to a non projected coordinate system causes failure

topowright-zz commented 6 years ago

Background

Currently the gp tools that we use for the addin can conduct line of sight (LLOS) and Viewshed (RLOS) using the data connected to this issue that is projected in WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere. This same data does not produce good results when running from the Visibility add-in.

Current State

Enviorment

Currently installed ICAP, which can be found here: http://solutions.arcgis.com/defense/help/icap/

note: this does not happen without ICAP installed.

If a user has a data set that has set the projection of the map then the user does not have the ability to change the data frame to a projected coordinate system that matches the input elevation to allow Visibility to run RLOS or LLOS.

Initial try

Open All Source Project
Add ElevationUTM_Zone10 dataset
Run RLOS Result will be an error that the spatial reference of the layer does not match the data frame

Second try

Right click the map and select properties
Change the dataframe spatial reference to the reference of the elevation dataset.
Clear the graphics on the add-in and run the RLOS again

User should get results, instead they are given the following issue:

All test data can be found in the box folder shared previously.

@lfunkhouser , @nfeuerstein received feedback from @CTLocalGovTeam today and they said that they are experiencing the bug when ICAP is installed, but not when it is not installed. They are going to look into the issue further to see what could be the challenge. This was tested on ArcGIS Pro 2.2.

Sai called me about this early today. I think we need to talk clearly about this issue if we want it to be addressed.

@saip says that he can reproduce with our June release so it does not seem to be the case that his was recently introduced. Most likely it seems recently introduced because the scenario of installing with ICAP would not have been something on peoples' minds when we did the June release
AddSurfaceInformation_3d is failing specifically when being run by the add-in when ICAP is installed. the add-in runs successfully without ICAP installed, and as just the gp tool, with ICAP installed.

Now the important part

From my conversation with @saip I got the impression that this is something wrong with ICAP and/or core code and is something @CTLocalGovTeam could best address if we first work with core/ICAP and figure out exactly what the problem is.

@saip please correct me if I misspoke

I'm unable to reproduce this. ArcGIS Pro 2.3 build 14072 Visibility (pulled master) ICAP (pulled dev)

I'm able to reproduce this, ArcGIS Pro 2.3 build 14229, Military Tools 3.2, ICAP 2.0 beta Build 580. I mistakenly opened up a duplicate issue here:https://github.com/Esri/military-tools-desktop-addins/issues/77
