GIS Final Project

Here is my presentation and written summary of my final GIS project!

Week 11 -3D

This was really cool to work with. It would be really interesting to use the 3d analyst in a real world situation.

Week 11- Vegetation Reclassification

I enjoyed using the reclassification tool, although it took me more than the estimated 15 minutes!

Week 11 - Modelbuilder

This was interesting to see how to build a model. I'm still not quite sure how to actually put it to use, though. I may just be overthinking it.

Week 11 - Add custom text to your maps

This was fairly easy. I enjoyed making the callouts and will use them a lot in future maps. Manually making labels is easy and straightforward. Dynamic labeling is less straightforward but comes in handy when many labels are needed.

Week 11 - Manage Your Labels with Class

I did not have any problems with this part of the lab. I think the labeling will definitely come in handy when designing future maps.
