Chapter 9
- 9.1: Very short and straightforward, just learning to use the cluster tool
- 9.2: Again very straightforward, didn’t have any issue with the spatial overlay.
- 9.3: This one definitely took a while, at least longer than the others and was definitely more complicated. Did not have any technical issues that other classmates seemed to have experienced though.
- 9.4: At the very end of analyzing for the optimal situation, using the summarize tool didn’t seem to work. Or at least, no change occurred that I noticed.
- 9.5: Another straightforward section that just focused on changing symbols and labels.
Chapter 10
- 10.1: Very interesting to see the 3D landscape overlaid on the 2D map beneath.
- 10.2: Heat maps are among my favorite types of map… that sounds weird to say now that I think about it, but there is something about them that is inherently interesting so it’s fun to play around with.
- 10.3: Was ultimately very disappointed in the end result with this part. Took me two hours to find and put everything together from the model to the codes, and on the last step to run the tool I was met with some unknown error so it felt like a waste of time.
Chapter 11
- 11.1: Basically Google Earth but playing with exaggerated features and time based lighting.
- 11.2: I mean I suppose it’s interesting to see the different layers in different colors contrasting. All came together at the end seeing the landscape reflected accurately.
- 11.3: Shows how to add realistic objects to a map using z features and points.
- 11.4: The drawing of the bridge arch using z points didn’t work, and neither did the line of sight analysis
- 11.5: Very straightforward. Interesting to play around with the height of objects.
- 11.6: Was initially concerned since nothing was happening, then the building finally showed after playing with the properties in a different step. Interesting to see a realistic-ish building model.
- 11.7: I don’t think animation has ever been easier… I joke but its still cool to see an animation which is something like a 3D tour
