What's New in Learn ArcGIS June 2022
Extract 3D buildings using photogrammetry (ArcGIS Pro Advanced)
In this lesson, as a GIS analyst working for the City of Pleasanton, California's Appraisal Department, you have been asked to take the existing building footprints for a local subdivision and turn them into 3D models with accurate heights and correctly shaped roofs. Additionally, each building is required to have attribution that records the building height and roof characteristics. Not only is the 3D attribute information valuable for appraisers, it can be used for a variety of use cases across the government enterprise in emergency management, facility management, planning, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Share digital building models in 3D web scenes (ArcGIS Pro)
In this lesson, you will focus on the De Zalmhaven building complex being planned in the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. You'll prepare and share a 3D scene showcasing that project. In the process, you'll learn about two sharing methods that offer different capabilities. The result will be two different 3D web scenes that can be browsed in a web browser and can easily reach their targeted audience. This approach seamlessly integrates digital building models developed with BIM software into 3D scenes produced with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
Clip features to a region (ArcGIS Pro Basic)
You are compiling data for a conservation analysis of Honduras. You found a layer representing terrestrial ecoregions, however, the layer covers the entire world, and all of your other layers are confined to Honduras. You'll make a copy of this layer that is clipped to the border of the country. You'll also add metadata so you can trace the clipped layer back to its source.
Fix data when it appears in the wrong place (ArcGIS Pro Basic)
A colleague sent you some spatial data for a flood mapping project you are working on in England. Unfortunately, when you add the data to a map, it appears in the wrong part of the world. When data appears in the wrong location, it usually means that the coordinate system is not defined, or it is defined incorrectly. When this occurs, you must do some research to find the name of the correct coordinate system. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the Define Projection tool to align data to the correct geographic location.
Get started with ArcGIS for Excel (ArcGIS Online, Microsoft 365
ArcGIS for Excel)
ArcGIS for Excel adds a geographic component to the data analysis capabilities of Microsoft Office. In this lesson, you'll create a map in Microsoft Excel based on a spreadsheet of potential customers for a beauty salon in Ottawa, Canada. By putting information about the salon locations and customers on a map, you can perform a visual analysis of leads generated at the Women’s Show, a major consumer event for women in Canada.
