Geoprocessing


This week we got our first chance to play with ArcMap Model Builder, create some scripts using the ArcGIS tools, and add a tool to our own custom toolbox. Overall, pretty straightforward, no hiccups.  Looking forward to getting into more Python scripting.

The image above is the result of running my SoilErase tool.  This tool selected the area that is "not prime farmland" from the input soils shapefile and then erases that area from the basin shapefile.  The result is the land in the basin that IS prime farmland.  Build your farm there in the green area!
