danrhino Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I had been using WMS version 10.1. In that version, I was able to read in a .tiff file in the "GIS Data" folder in Project Explorer. From there I would right-click the file and select, "Convert to Land Use Grid". The program would then read it as a Grid file in the Map Data folder below Coverages. Now with WMS 11.0 version, I do not have the "Convert to Land Use Grid" or "Convert to Soil Type Grid" as options available in the menu after right-clicking on the .tiff file. I do have those options if I get Land Use data from the map server, but not if I export it from ArcMap as a .tif file. I made sure it was an 8-bit pixel depth file when loading into WMS GIS Data just as is the .tif file one would get from the Map Server. Is there a reason or a work-around? Can you fix this? It seems like a minor omission. Dan Edited May 22, 2019 by danrhino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Smemoe Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Dan, Which version of WMS 11.0 are you using? Are you using the most recent update (Built around May 3rd)? To convert to a land use grid, WMS is looking for a raster with a single band of data that has a color palette. I don't think the values have to be 8-bit, but they usually are if there's a color palette. If you have a way to export a color palette from ArcGIS with your .tif file, WMS should recognize this as something that can be converted to a Land Use Grid.
