High Quality Image Availability

[Eric_Chappell]

This idea was proposed by Rad Lazic as a comment on the BIM on the Rocks blog:

"@Eric Chappell yes, that is why I said 1' to 3' image resolution, after I set it's properties to the highest available (0.3m/pixel). Good for flight simulators but not so much for presenting a proposal of an urban intersection. Model builder needs more options from data providers with higher grade data sets. Even if it comes with a $$$ tag, it may prove cheaper than planting random cars, trees and traffic lights because they blur-out in the scene."

We're not considering this idea at this time but we'll keep it on the list for future consideration.

Archived ideas are not being considered for implementation at this time.

We're a fan of every idea and wish we could implement all of them in the very near future, but often have to make choices aligned with a few strategic focus areas. This is a tough call not only because this idea has good support from the community, but also because many have commented to me that they'd prefer to have an easy way to get a wider variety of data into the model via Model Builder.

It wouldn't surprise me if we revisit this type of idea in the future.
