So I have two .shp feature classes (Rivers and River use) as well as a Raster layer, which is a kernel density of River use > 0.
Is there a way to change the color of the river polygons where overlaying kernel density is present (ie. sections of river where there is river use)?
Hi Christopher, an easy, quick way to do this if your "river polygons" are the nine areas shown in the screenshot above is to manually select the eight polygons that contain a kernel density, then save the selection as its own layer (right-click the river polygon layer > Selection > Create layer from selected features). Change the symbology of the new layer, which will draw on top of the original layer.
Thanks Suzanne, however, I may have poorly explained what I am actually trying to do which is change the color of the blue rivers where the density lies directly over it. My thought is that I could then hide the density plot and be left with red sections of river where the density plot once overlayed. Does that make sense?
One way that comes to mind:
Should work!
I have found a way to do this that is exactly what I was hoping for.
Step 1.) Use Reclassify tool on the Kernal Density Raster layer
Step 2.) Use the Raster to Polygon tool
Step 3.) Select by attributes on new layer
Step 4.) Export selected data to new layer.
Step 5.) Use the intersect tool
Awesome, Christopher! Your map clearly shows river section use. Thanks for sharing the solution.
