Summary
When working with external software such as AutoCad's Civil3D, it may be necessary to reduce the file size of larger orthomosaics created by SiteScan to load the imagery.
Procedure
- Open ArcGIS Pro, and either create a new project or open an existing project
- Go to the Analysis tab, and select the Tools button to open the Geoprocessing pane, if it is not already open.
- On the search bar at the top of the pane, search for Copy Raster, and in the list, select the Copy Raster tool from the Data Management Tools toolbox.
- In the Copy Raster dialog, navigate to the local TIFF file using the folder icon next to Input Raster.
- Choose a location as an output using the folder icon next to the Output Raster Dataset.
- Confirm the output Format. Pixel Type can be left blank as it automatically takes the value from the Input Raster.
- To resize the output raster, go to the Environments tab, and under Raster Analysis, instead of Maximum of Inputs, select the text and type in a manual Cell Size value larger than the current cell size.
- If the cell size of the raster is not known, navigate to the Catalog pane by going to the View tab, and selecting Catalog Pane. Add a folder connection by right-clicking folders and navigating to where the imagery is stored. Right-clicking and viewing the properties of the image displays the Cell Size X and Y under Raster Information.
- Once the output cell size is set in Environments, click Copy Raster to run the tool and create the new output raster in the indicated output location.
