Lab 11-Labels, Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst

Part 1-Labels

I thought this lab was real informative, although it will take me some practice to understand all of the features that are available. It was a little time consuming, but I think well worth it for future map submittals.

Part 2-Spatial Analyst


This seemed pretty straight forward and was interesting to see another way to set up the geoprocessing.

This part of the lab had a number of cool features with the reclassification although the ESRI exercise seemed to have some unexplained errors.  I can see this having a number of "real world" applications.

Part 3-3D Analyst

I enjoyed using the ArcScene module.  This exercise was real exciting for me to use as Mt. Shavano is fairly close to my home, being about 45-50 miles away.  I have also done a bit of surveying at the flanks of the mountain, so it really was a fun module and hope to learn more about ArcScene in the future.  I also enjoyed the line of sight exercise as it seemed as though it could be real helpful for siting cell towers or showing a group of people in a PPGIS setting about line of sight issues. Although the line of sight exercise seemed to have some issues with my computer..........maybe I need a better graphics card for this kind of work?
