Geometry Service Setup

Lucity requires a geometry service to perform geospatial calculations when rendering the Lucity Web Map. This service handles dealing with services with different spatial references among other things.

How To Configure a Geometry Service

1. Collect REST URL for the geometry service.

   For Arc 10.x

   1. Log into Arc Server Manager and click on Services > Manage Services.

      

   2. Locate the service you wish to use and click on it to view its properties.
   3. Click the Capabilities button.
   4. Copy down the REST URL, which should have a path similar to:
      • Map Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer
      • Feature Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/FeatureServer
      • Geocoding Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeocodeServer
      • Geometry Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeometryServer
      • Routing Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/RoutingServer
   5. If collecting information for the map service that contains your operational data, click on the REST URL. A page containing the properties of the map service appears.
   6. Scroll down and copy down the Spatial Reference Number. (Do this only for the layer that contains Lucity data.)

      Note: If text appears in the Spatial Reference field, rather than numerals, use the closest matching Spatial Reference Number from the following lists: Projected Coordinate Systems Geographic Coordinate Systems

2. In the Lucity Administration Tool, go to GIS > GIS Services and click the Utility Services tab.
3. In the Geometry Service grid, select the existing record. (Only one service is needed.)
4. Enter the REST URL for the geometry service.
5. Complete other fields as desired.
6. Click the Save... button below the grid.
