This week's lab was somewhat straight forward for me until Deliverables 3 and 4 came into the equation. Things seem to get a disjointed after creating the viewshed. It seemed that no matter where I placed my observation points, the entrance tunnel was visible...........even if I put the point 5 miles from the site. I redid this sequence a number of times and eventually came up with a sight line was at least partially obscured. Deliverable 4 took me over 10 hours to produce as I couldn't come up with anything that came close to a 3d rendering. I believe there was something with the orthoimage that wasn't allowing this. I went back to my last Week 9 drawing and re-exported the file again...........(I actually did around 6-8 combinations before this), and for some unknown reasoning I was able to come up a Deliverable 4 that was 3d ish. I wasn't able to manipulate it very well without significant distortion. Fortunately the copy and past of the sight line into the ArcScene went smooth, except it was a grey color and not green/red. This week took me about a whole day more than I planned but I felt more comfortable with buffers, label and the intersect tool and the exercise as shown seems like some good practical skills to have.
