I am trying to work out the best method for determining the include angle after running the viewshed tool.  Basically, I want to work out the angle of visibility from where there viewshed said my points were visible back to where the points are.  I have seen this done in other software packages (mainly dealing with wind farms).  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

Jeff,

So you want some attribute per visible cell that would tell you the angle threshold for visible/not visible from a given set of points?

Well I imagine that this is an attribute value that measures the angle of a set of points that are visible.  There is a correlation to proximity and also the number of points visible.  i.e. 1 point visible might only have a 0 - 5 degree included angle, but where more than 10 are visible might be > 45 degress included angle.  Hope that makes sense.

I am attaching an example of this.  [ATTACH=CONFIG]8892[/ATTACH]
