DSS Editing Module 1 ArcGIS Overview
ArcMap Toolbars • The main application viewer is where users can: • Edit layers • Display, query, and investigate spatial layers • Create maps • Run spatial analysis • Check for and correct topology errors Table of contents Main map display
ArcCatalog Main function of this application is for data design and management of geospatial layers. Think of it as the “Windows Explorer” for GIS layers • Managing geospatial data – preview data, copy, delete, move, search, create new files, create and manage attribute fields within features, import/export features • Compact geodatabases • Search for geospatial data Catalog Tree
ArcScene • ArcScene is the 3D visualization and analysis application of ArcGIS that allows users to view data in 3D perspective • Used for smaller datasets (a defined study area) • Can use analysis functions and tools within it • Can navigate and interact with 3D features and raster datasets • Can create and display surfaces • Supports 3D symbols • Can overlay and view other vector and/or raster layers • Uses the projection from first loaded dataset • Can add directional info • Create a stereo image • Can exaggerate elevation heights • Can zoom in/out • Create a flight path • Can change orient pitch/roll of view
ArcGlobe ArcGlobe is the 3D visualization application of ArcGIS for large datasets. It has very good performance at navigation and rendering high- and low-resolution raster and vector data. ArcSceneis a better choice for analysis. • Is part of 3D Analyst extension • Creates a seamless visualization of both raster and feature data • All data is projected into a single projection – Cube Projection • Perfect for viewing information at a global or covering a large scale • As you zoom in and move around, imagery becomes clearer and 3D elevation changes becomes noticeable Golden Gate Bridge
