Publishing a Web Layer to ArcGIS Online from ArcGIS Pro
With the introduction of ArcGIS Online (AGOL) and ArcGIS Pro, organizations can now publish and share data from anywhere. With more people than ever working from home, the need for an online web app for shareable content is more important than ever. This is more than just a cloud sharing portal; it’s using ESRI web apps contained within AGOL to view, manage and maintain your datasets from anywhere with an internet connection. In this blog, I’ll show a simple way to take a shapefile and publish it to AGOL for our organization to use as a centralized home for data.

How to Use Groups and Assemblies in Revit
Groups and assemblies provide valuable functionality within the Revit user interface. They both can group multiple elements into a single entity; however, they have subtle differences as well. Groups are incredibly efficient when a user needs to simultaneously edit multiple instances of identical groups. Assemblies provide value when documenting one area of a building. This blog is intended to highlight the nuances between the two and guide the user to the correct selection based on the desired result.

Using Targets for Laser Scanning
Many operations that require real-world coordinates still rely on targets, brass caps and nails. These operations mostly work with civil applications, but for applications for the AEC world, the use of targets has fallen due to recent progressions in modern laser scanners such as the Leica RTC360. However, there are still some scenarios where deploying a target is what you need to navigate a tricky registration, giving you that warm fuzzy feeling knowing that everything is linked correctly.
