Module 3 Visibility Analysis

 For this week's Module we were tasked with taking 3 ESRI online courses. These courses were Introduction to 3D Visualization, Performing Line of Sight Analysis, Performing Viewshed Analysis in ArcGIS Pro, and Sharing 3D Content Using Scene Layer Packages. Introduction to 3D analysis introduced applying 3D symology to a 3D layer and using illumination and shadow to enhance realism for global and local scenes. Performing Line of Sight Analysis introduced the Construct Sight Lines tool, which Creates line features that represent sight lines from one or more observer points to features in a target feature class. The Sharing 3D content using Scene Layer Packages course demonstrated how to share and publish a 3d scene as well as the Add Surface Imagery and Layer 3D To Feature Class tools. The Add Surface Imagery Tool attributes features with spatial information derived from a surface. The Layer 3D to Feature Class tool exports feature layers with 3D display properties to 3D lines or multipatch features. The last course I took was the Performing Viewshed Analysis tool, with that I used the Viewshed tool which determines the raster surface locations visible to a set of observer features.
