Hiking Shavano - Week 11 in 3-D

VRML is cool! My holiday in Shavano was fun. We hiked, mapped and did general Z-based tasks. Without a shadow of a doubt, think I'm now a TIN man.

Listen to Mom - Reclass your Veggies - Week 11

Raster data has become more 'friendly'; we mesh more often. Reclassifying raster data to allow analysis has opened more opportunities for a 'vector' guy. Are the poly's gone?

I chose classification colors that were more 'natural'. I struggle with the 'no-data' category - seems it should be de-emphasized, but this looks awkward.

Model Builder orbs - Week 11

Model Builder is great! Drag and drop macros allow iterative analysis without distracting tool selection (especially for informing casual decision makers).

Recreation Areas - Week 11

Here are a collection of Recreation Areas surrounding Tampa Bay. I've my canoe on the truck... Let's paddle!

I was unsure of the extent to show, as the Withlacooc Hee looks interesting, but makes for a scale that looses the labeling.

Cities & Roads - Week 11

Here are the Cities & Roads data, with Cities and Roads; really. Label Manager is a powerful tool; I've only used Attributes before.

Map of Recreation Areas

Here are the proposed recreation areas that do not encroach on sensitive areas and are accessible by road. They are also in close proximity to water (but you might want to boil it). I used the Clip Tool to locate the Preserve areas that overlapped the recreation areas ( just for my assistance), then added a binary field to the Preserve layer and set it to 1. Then used Union to combine Preserve with buffer_union_single and Selected all records not having the Preserve bit set.The Tool output was as expected (love those spatial tools!). I had 79 features in the output layer. The smallest was 5656 sq meters, the largest 8055502.
