Is it possible to publish an elevation raster as an Elevation layer / Web Layer in FME? Similar to this screen in Arcgis Pro:

 

  1. By using a regular writer or AGOLConnector?
  2. By pythonscript?

 

Described here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/sharing/overview/web-elevation-layer.htm

 

Hi @Sigbjørn Herstad​ 

As per my understanding currently this is not possible. Our writer and ArcGIS Online connectors can only publish Feature Service.

When using the WebUI we find the same issue when uploading (DEM , GeoTiff) files as zip.

I will continue to test and check with our dev team if there are any workarounds.

Thank you. The reason this is needed on our part is to update this terrain model every night because the terrain changes based on new drone photos and changes during the planning of the road/railroad parcell. And we want to reflect this change instantly in the web-GIS-client.


Just spoke about this with a colleague and we think it is possible using the ArcGIS Pro python module "arcgis ". We have not done this yet so I can only give some pointers. Also it's probably not very easy.

Very cool idea!
