Share an urban model

In the Sharing tab of the data manager you can configure who can view the urban model and who can edit the urban model, you can generate an iframe element that allows you to embed the urban model in your website, and you can export the urban model to a file geodatabase.

Note:

Only the urban model owner can edit the sharing settings.

6. Copy the iframe element from the Embed iframe subsection and embed it in your website's code.

Export the urban model to a file geodatabase

You can export the database of your urban model to a file geodatabase. Use the exported file geodatabase as a template to create an urban model. The export includes the following:

• System of records (zoning and development data)
• Metrics
• Indicators
• Projects that have been uploaded to the data manager

Note:

Design plans and projects are not exported.

Complete the following steps to export your urban database:

1. Click the Manage button to the right of the header in the overview.
2. On the Sharing tab, browse to the Export Urban database section.
3. Click Export.
4. On the dialog box, provide a name for the file geodatabase that will be created on export and click Export.

   Once the urban database is successfully exported, a dialog box with a link to the file geodatabase appears.

5. Do one of the following:
   • Click Done to close the Export Urban database dialog box and go back to the Sharing tab of the data manager.
   • Click the link on the Export Urban database dialog box to open a new browser tab and go to the ArcGIS Online item page of the file geodatabase.
