Percentages of geological settings per catchment
I have two .shp files 1) Is a whole country that is divided into different geological settings and 2) a catchment (a polygon) that is withing this country and covers at least 3 of these geological settings. What I would like to do is to find out which ArcTool could help me to find out the percentages of these geological…

digitizing work flow
What is the best workflow practice for digitizing lines and polygons? I am thinking of digitizing lines first in a couple of layers, then forming polygons by manually selecting lines. Would this approach work if I want to generate a polygon from two separate layers? Thanks

How can I correctly label my units after a polygon from lines using point feature class attribution in Arcmap Pro?
I used to use the workflow create feature class from lines and populate my polygons with subtypes from a point feature class with ArcMap 10. I have just moved to Arcmap Pro, and have used the replacement workflow of Polygons from Lines which allows for the creation of labels generated from the point feature class but does…

Error in cell statistics while using Shadow slope Algorithm
Hi! I'm a student and pretty new to ArcMap and GIS overall so this is my first post here. I'm mapping an area for potential landslides and using the tool Shadow Slope Algorithm (F. Lindberg et al (2011)) to see potential soil failures. I have done som work with this algorithm before and it worked fine. This time it wont…

How to create a vertical interpolated surface?
I'm not sure if I am just using the available tools incorrectly or there currently is no tool available that can solve my problem, but I will try to explain my problem the best I can; So I have performed an ERT servery to acquire various resistivity values at depth along a straight survey line. I have a point file along…

How to export point features [xy data] symbol into line features [strike/dip]?
HI, I've been using ArcGIS to create Geological Map with Strike/Dip symbol in it. In ArcGIS, to create that symbol, we just had to import XY Coordinates (Point Features) and change the symbology into Strike/Dip [ESRI Geology]. I like to use ArcGIS for making geological map because ArcGIS can rotate the all data…

Is there a complete fgdc-std-013-2006 style package?
The ESRI Geology 24k styles is an incomplete set of Geologic symbology based on the fgdc-std-013-2006 standard. Does anyone have a complete set of symbology based on this standard in a ArcMap 10.1 style file? If not what is the easiest way to edit or modify existing symbols for lithologic textures? Thanks.

Microsoft Surface (2017 Model) with ArcMap for Multi-GB Datasets and Mapping?
I've looked at past discussions on here for Microsoft Surface compatibility with ArcMap and there seems to be mixed results almost entirely based on what you want to do. So I will first describe what I do: I almost exclusively work in ArcMap, displaying multi-GB planetary datasets (basemaps and DTMs) anywhere from a few…

Force high resolution basemap
I'm working at a scale of 1:2,350,000 and the output is for publication. I'd like to include a basemap but at this scale the resolution of the basemap (world imagery) is fairly poor. As a workaround I'm having to zoom into portions of the map and then export to third party imaging software to stitch the outputs together.…
