Looking for insight as to others might be dealing with the mass of information being produced by their drone and how they are storing that info, and more importantly making it accessible to others.  For example, I have a series of drone flight orthomosaics for a construction site.  I'd like to somehow make these available in a webmap.  What's the best way to do that?  We'll have ever increasing amounts of this data as we fly for all major utility and capital projects.  What's the best way to plan on storing this data and distributing it?

Subject: 3D Data

I'm wondering if anyone has a work flow for 3D Data, specifically 3D buildings, and locating them accurately.  Currently, I have accurately mapped building footprints, based on our floorplans, which are georeferenced.  I use those floorplans in SketchUp and create a 3D model, but it does not have coordinate information.  Using the SketchUp tools to georeference are not accurate enough.  Exporting to collada and importing to multipatch and then moving the multipatch to the proper location is not accurate enough as I can't get it to snap properly to data that I know is accurate. I can basically rotate, and move, but can do that with accuracy.  I'm sure there is a better workflow and way to do it, I welcome more experienced folks to chime in.  Thanks again NEARC community, this is a great group and a great resource.
