Esri’s new Reality Engine is now released as the main processing engine in Site Scan for ArcGIS.
The first release phase and what it means for your projects
All projects have a new setting called Processing Engine with the following options that can be configured any time:
- Reality Engine
- Legacy Engine
With the first release out of beta, the Reality Engine has been set as the default processing engine for the following projects:
- Project is in a UTM coordinate system and has no GCPs
- Project is in a UTM coordinate system and has GCPs in a UTM or WGS84 based coordinate system
Other projects still use the Legacy Engine as the default. Over the coming releases, additional projects’ processing engine setting will be transitioned to the Reality Engine.
During this transition phase, if you encounter unexpected results with the Reality Engine, you can revert to the Legacy Engine as needed. If you do revert, we ask that you let us know why the Reality Engine didn’t meet your expectations. Please fill out the survey or contact Technical Support.
