The Visibility toolset features tools for performing various forms of visibility analysis, ranging from constructing shadow models and sight lines to generation of viewsheds and skylines.
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Creates line features that represent sight lines from one or more observer points to features in a target feature class. | |
Determines the raster surface locations visible to a set of observer features using geodesic methods. | |
Determines the visibility of sight lines using potential obstructions defined by any combination of 3D features and surfaces. | |
Determines the visibility of sight lines over obstructions consisting of a surface and an optional multipatch dataset. | |
Identifies which observer points are visible from each raster surface location. | |
Generates a line or multipatch feature class containing the results from a skyline or silhouette analysis. | |
Generates a multipatch feature class representing a skyline barrier or shadow volume. | |
Calculates the sky visibility ratio and generates an optional table and a polar graph. | |
Calculates the number of times a fixed position on a surface has its direct sight line to the sun obstructed by multipatch features. | |
Creates closed volumes that model shadows cast by each feature using sunlight for a given date and time. | |
Determines the raster surface locations visible to a set of observer features. | |
Determines the raster surface locations visible to a set of observer features, or identifies which observer points are visible from each raster surface location. |
