10029: Raster data source does not have pyramids

Your raster data source does not contain a raster pyramid. This is one of a number of ways to improve performance for raster data display.

Solutions

More information

Pyramids are reduced-resolution representations of your dataset used to improve performance. Pyramids can speed up the display of raster data by retrieving only the data at a specified resolution that is required for the display. With pyramids, a lower-resolution copy of the data displays quickly when drawing the entire dataset. As you zoom in, levels with finer resolutions are drawn; performance is maintained because you're drawing successively smaller areas.

ArcGIS automatically chooses the most appropriate pyramid level based on the map display scale.
