Starting with Vector Analysis Part 1 was my favorite part of this assignment. I was able to see how joining multiple layers of data with precise intent is possible in ArcGIS Pro.
I work with a lot of feature classes in my job that revolve around meters, backflows, addresses.
In-fact most of our feature classes have at least 45 fields of data each!
This analysis was one of the many chunks of knowledge that I've been excited to learn since starting the class. It will definitely help me to become a better GIS Technician than when I started.
My first Screenshot is of one of the final steps of Vector Analysis Part 1, where we were trying to narrow down the most likely contaminant hazard closest to the Public Water Supplier. which was a Gas Station.
For the Second half of the assignment I struggled much more and took much longer to complete.
In the beginning of the assignment I was able to comprehend the multi-ring buffers and creating new feature layers that would have different size offsets and intersect with other features.
The overlay function is where I really struggled. I'm still a little uncertain about the creation of new fields called "insd_rbuf" and "insd_wbuf"
Even though I was successful at creating an export feature layer from the initial, step 5 in the process had me stuck for almost 4 solid hours.
The only direction is pretty much to pick a different overlay tool that will net you the desired result.
I posted to the discussion board and was told to pretty much repeat step 4, which in all reality didn't help. I eventually lucked out with trying the erase overlay tool.
Not even really sure what it did but I was so stressed out by the time i got it to work I wasn't willing to investigate.
This area of ArcGIS Pro I'll have to spend more time on. I may go back over the Part 1 and 2 just to get a clearer understanding of the process.
