New Learn Lessons
 
A Learn Lesson is a step-by-step tutorial that uses a real-world scenario to introduce key ArcGIS tools and workflows. Here's a roundup of new lessons in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month.
 
Import and incorporate 3D models in a scene (ArcGIS Pro)

In this lesson, as the construction manager working you will go through the process of importing 3D content such as Khronos Group’s Graphics Language Transmission Format models (.gltf or .glb) into feature classes and placing them in a scene, as well as importing CAD files (.rvt) into ArcGIS Pro as a data source and 3D georeferencing them into 3D scenes.

 

 
 
 
 
 
Geolocate a 3D digital building model (ArcGIS Pro)

In this lesson, as the construction manager working on the De Zalmhaven complex project in Rotterdam, Netherlands, you will geolocate a digital model representing a high-rise building and integrate it into a 3D scene representing the city center of Rotterdam.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Select and extract a subset of features (ArcGIS Pro)

You are making a map of South Africa. You found two layers that are useful to this project: one representing provinces and another representing urban areas. However, both layers are global in extent: they cover the entire world. You need to extract a subset of each layer that contains features only within South Africa. You'll accomplish this with three tools: Select by Attributes, Select by Location, and Export Features.

 

 
 
 
 
Merge multiple layers into one (ArcGIS Pro)

A common data management task in GIS is to merge a set of separate layers into one. In this lesson, you have two polygon layers representing land areas in Norway. One is a general land layer, while the other maps only minor islands. You'll use the Merge geoprocessing tool to combine these two layers into a new dataset.

The Merge tool can be used with only a few clicks. However, in this case, some extra care is needed to ensure that the fields of the two input layers are merged correctly in the output layer. You'll learn how to configure a field map and resolve field mapping errors.

 
 
Get started with ArcGIS for SharePoint (ArcGIS Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online
ArcGIS for SharePoint)

Then, you'll geotag files to their related spatial features and use geosearch to find the files on the map. You'll also create infographics and perform analysis using the data. Lastly, you'll share the results to collaborate with others in your organization.
 
 

 

 

 

New Learn Paths

A Learn Path is sequenced set of resources for learning about a particular topic. Here's a roundup of some new paths in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month. 

 
Spatio-temporal analysis of COVID-19 daily confirmed cases

BIM and GIS
