GeoReferencing


In the first map this week, we experimented with georeferencing images onto a map, using the ArcMap Control Points tool.  We also edited the building data features and attributes, adding the new gym building to an existing feature class of UWF buildings and the new Campus Lane.  Overall, a good exercise, however I got bogged down in the requirement to make the eagle's nest an inset map (makes more sense in context with the rest of campus, IMO) and figuring out how to include a base map from ESRI.  We had worked with map packages in Week 4, but not really in a scenario that involved importing them to ArcMap 10.0.  I tried about a half dozen approaches and I'm honestly not sure I could reproduce the steps that finally worked.  The lab could have been more clear in this regard and I suspect there will be a lot of discussion forum chatter on this topic.


The second part of the assignment involved viewing the campus in ArcScene and adding 3D features to the scene.  The final product is pretty neat, though it seems a bit pixelated when finally exported as a .jpg.
