For more information about this tool see Batch Metadata Modifier Tool Toolbar Help.Modifying multiple files simultaneously that don't have identical structures is possible but not advised. Be especially careful modifying repeatable elements in multiple files that do not have and identical structureTool can be run as an ArcGIS Add-In or as a stand-alone Windows executableExecutable runs on PC only. (Not supported on Mac.)The ArcGIS Add-In requires ArcGIS Desktop version 10.2 or 10.3Metadata formats accepted: FGDC CSDGM, ArcGIS 1.0, ArcGIS ISO, and ISO 19115Contact Bruce Godfrey (bgodfrey@uidaho.edu, Ph. 208-292-1407) if you have questions or wish to collaborate on further developing this tool.Modifying and maintaining metadata for large batches of ArcGIS items can be a daunting task. Out-of-the-box graphical user interface metadata tools within ArcCatalog 10.x are designed primarily to allow users to interact with metadata for one item at a time. There are, however, a limited number of tools for performing metadata operations on multiple items. Therefore, the need exists to develop tools to modify metadata for numerous items more effectively and efficiently. The Batch Metadata Modifier Tools toolbar is a step in that direction. The Toolbar, which is available as an ArcGIS Add-In, currently contains two tools. The first tool, which is additionally available as a standalone Windows executable application, allows users to update metadata on multiple items iteratively. The tool enables users to modify existing elements, find and replace element content, delete metadata elements, and import metadata elements from external templates. The second tool of the Toolbar, a batch thumbnail creator, enables the batch-creation of the graphic that appears in an item’s metadata, illustrating the data an item contains. Both of these tools make updating metadata in ArcCatalog more efficient, since the tools are able to operate on numerous items iteratively through an easy-to-use graphic interface.This tool, developed by INSIDE Idaho at the University of Idaho Library, was created to assist researchers with modifying FGDC CSDGM, ArcGIS 1.0 Format and ISO 19115 metadata for numerous data products generated under EPSCoR award EPS-0814387.This tool is primarily designed to be used by those familiar with metadata, metadata standards, and metadata schemas. The tool is for use by metadata librarians and metadata managers and those having experience modifying standardized metadata. The tool is designed to expedite batch metadata maintenance. Users of this tool must fully understand the files they are modifying. No responsibility is assumed by the Idaho Geospatial Data Clearinghouse or the University of Idaho in the use of this tool. A portion of the development of this tool was made possible by an Idaho EPSCoR Office award.

Converts closed polygons (commonly used for representing roads and rivers) to centerlines using the Thiessen polygon method. There is a Densify Distance parameter that you will likely need to adjust to optimize your results. Some post-processing editing is probably also required to ensure that lines connect properly. This is the same tool released in 2011 but updated for ArcGIS 10.1. Esri no longer supports the original geoprocessing tool gallery, so I believe that this is the only copy of this tool online.

The National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDplus) maps the lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and other surface waters of the United States. Created by the US EPA Office of Water and the US Geological Survey, the NHDPlus provides mean annual and monthly flow estimates for rivers and streams. Additional attributes provide connections between features facilitating complicated analyses. For more information on the NHDPlus dataset see the NHDPlus v2 User Guide.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Surface waters and related features of the United States and associated territories not including Alaska.Geographic Extent: The United States not including Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and American SamoaProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere Visible Scale: Visible at all scales but layer draws best at scales larger than 1:1,000,000Source: EPA and USGSUpdate Frequency: There is new new data since this 2019 version, so no updates planned in the futurePublication Date: March 13, 2019Prior to publication, the NHDPlus network and non-network flowline feature classes were combined into a single flowline layer. Similarly, the NHDPlus Area and Waterbody feature classes were merged under a single schema.Attribute fields were added to the flowline and waterbody layers to simplify symbology and enhance the layer's pop-ups. Fields added include Pop-up Title, Pop-up Subtitle, On or Off Network (flowlines only), Esri Symbology (waterbodies only), and Feature Code Description. All other attributes are from the original NHDPlus dataset. No data values -9999 and -9998 were converted to Null values for many of the flowline fields.What can you do with this layer?Feature layers work throughout the ArcGIS system. Generally your work flow with feature layers will begin in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Below are just a few of the things you can do with a feature service in Online and Pro.ArcGIS OnlineAdd this layer to a map in the map viewer. The layer is limited to scales of approximately 1:1,000,000 or larger but a vector tile layer created from the same data can be used at smaller scales to produce a webmap that displays across the full range of scales. The layer or a map containing it can be used in an application. Change the layer’s transparency and set its visibility rangeOpen the layer’s attribute table and make selections. Selections made in the map or table are reflected in the other. Center on selection allows you to zoom to features selected in the map or table and show selected records allows you to view the selected records in the table.Apply filters. For example you can set a filter to show larger streams and rivers using the mean annual flow attribute or the stream order attribute. Change the layer’s style and symbologyAdd labels and set their propertiesCustomize the pop-upUse as an input to the ArcGIS Online analysis tools. This layer works well as a reference layer with the trace downstream and watershed tools. The buffer tool can be used to draw protective boundaries around streams and the extract data tool can be used to create copies of portions of the data.ArcGIS ProAdd this layer to a 2d or 3d map. Use as an input to geoprocessing. For example, copy features allows you to select then export portions of the data to a new feature class. Change the symbology and the attribute field used to symbolize the dataOpen table and make interactive selections with the mapModify the pop-upsApply Definition Queries to create sub-sets of the layerThis layer is part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.Questions?Please leave a comment below if you have a question about this layer, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

The Viewshed analysis layer is used to identify visible areas. You specify the places you are interested in, either from a file or interactively, and the Viewshed service combines this with Esri-curated elevation data to create output polygons of visible areas. Some questions you can answer with the Viewshed task include:What areas can I see from this location? What areas can see me?Can I see the proposed wind farm?What areas can be seen from the proposed fire tower?The maximum number of input features is 1000.Viewshed has the following optional parameters:Maximum Distance: The maximum distance to calculate the viewshed.Maximum Distance Units: The units for the Maximum Distance parameter. The default is meters.DEM Resolution: The source elevation data; the default is 90m resolution SRTM. Other options include 30m, 24m, 10m, and Finest.Observer Height: The height above the surface of the observer. The default value of 1.75 meters is an average height of a person. If you are looking from an elevation location such as an observation tower or a tall building, use that height instead.Observer Height Units: The units for the Observer Height parameter. The default is meters.Surface Offset: The height above the surface of the object you are trying to see. The default value is 0. If you are trying to see buildings or wind turbines add their height here.Surface Offset Units: The units for the Surface Offset parameter. The default is meters.Generalize Viewshed Polygons: Determine if the viewshed polygons are to be generalized or not. The viewshed calculation is based upon a raster elevation model which creates a result with stair-stepped edges. To create a more pleasing appearance, and improve performance, the default behavior is to generalize the polygons. This generalization will not change the accuracy of the result for any location more than one half of the DEM's resolution.By default, this tool currently works worldwide between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south based on the 3 arc-second (approximately 90 meter) resolution SRTM dataset. Depending upon the DEM resolution pick by the user, different data sources will be used by the tool. For 24m, tool will use global dataset WorldDEM4Ortho (excluding the counties of Azerbaijan, DR Congo and Ukraine) 0.8 arc-second (approximately 24 meter) from Airbus Defence and Space GmbH. For 30m, tool will use 1 arc-second resolution data in North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED), SRTM DEM-S dataset from Geoscience Australia in Australia and SRTM data between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south in the remaining parts of the world (Africa, South America, most of Europe and continental Asia, the East Indies, New Zealand, and islands of the western Pacific). For 10m, tool will use 1/3 arc-second resolution data in the continental United States from USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) and approximately 10 meter data covering Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Japan Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy, Northern Ireland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein from various authoritative sources.To learn more, read the developer documentation for Viewshed or follow the Learn ArcGIS exercise called I Can See for Miles and Miles.

The Grid Garage Toolbox is designed to help you undertake the Geographic Information System (GIS) tasks required to process GIS data (geodata) into a standard, spatially aligned format. This format is required by most, grid or raster, spatial modelling tools such as the Multi-criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S). Grid Garage contains 36 tools designed to save you time by batch processing repetitive GIS tasks as well diagnosing problems with data and capturing a record of processing step and any errors encountered. Grid Garage provides tools that function using a list based approach to batch processing where both inputs and outputs are specified in tables to enable selective batch processing and detailed result reporting. In many cases the tools simply extend the functionality of standard ArcGIS tools, providing some or all of the inputs required by these tools via the input table to enable batch processing on a 'per item' basis. This approach differs slightly from normal batch processing in ArcGIS, instead of manually selecting single items or a folder on which to apply a tool or model you provide a table listing target datasets. In summary the Grid Garage allows you to: * List, describe and manage very large volumes of geodata. * Batch process repetitive GIS tasks such as managing (renaming, describing etc.) or processing (clipping, resampling, reprojecting etc.) many geodata inputs such as time-series geodata derived from satellite imagery or climate models. * Record any errors when batch processing and diagnose errors by interrogating the input geodata that failed. * Develop your own models in ArcGIS ModelBuilder that allow you to automate any GIS workflow utilising one or more of the Grid Garage tools that can process an unlimited number of inputs. * Automate the process of generating MCAS-S TIP metadata files for any number of input raster datasets. The Grid Garage is intended for use by anyone with an understanding of GIS principles and an intermediate to advanced level of GIS skills. Using the Grid Garage tools in ArcGIS ModelBuilder requires skills in the use of the ArcGIS ModelBuilder tool. Download Instructions: Create a new folder on your computer or network and then download and unzip the zip file from the GitHub Release page for each of the following items in the 'Data and Resources' section below. There is a folder in each zip file that contains all the files. See the Grid Garage User Guide for instructions on how to install and use the Grid Garage Toolbox with the sample data provided.

Last Update: 06/18/2025 with v10 launch and Reverse Geocode HotfixRequires ArcGIS Pro 3.3.xThis is a file structure with ArcGIS Pro project and layout templates for supporting Urban Search and Rescue Teams in 2024. It points to the latest feature layers and is based on the NWCG Wildfire GIS templates.Updates to this project can be found in the Read Me text document in the root folder of the template after downloading. Some patch notes can also be found below in the comments.Special thanks to NIFC and the Wildfire GIS Community for the starting template. For more documentation see NWCG Standards for Geospatial Operations, PMS 936 | NWCGYOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS any incident data unless you are a member of the NSARGC Group.If the template brings you to a screen saying "Invalid Token", you may need to try downloading it again. How to deploy templateThis template is not a traditional ArcGIS Pro template. When you download this template, you are downloading the full folder structure, pre-made map projects, layouts, databases, and tools that have been designed to work alongside SARCOP. This "template" does not use the "Create a project from a template" workflow within Pro, rather you are downloading the full project, and it can be modified as you see fit from there. Below are the recommended steps to take to deploy the template.Download the template anywhere on your PC by clicking the Download button on the top right below Sign In and Overview. This will download as a Zipped folder, likely to your Downloads folder.Go to the C drive of your computer and create a new folder called "Incidents", then create another folder within that Incidents folder with the name of the incident you are using the template for. For example, if the incident name is "Hurricane Lisa", the folder path should look something like "C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa".Extract the zipped folder contents from step 1 to that new incident folder you created in step 2. In the Hurricane Lisa example, data would be extracted to C:\Incidents\2024xxxx_HurricaneLisa.Go to the newly extracted folders and find the Projects folder. Open that and double click on any APRX file to begin work.

Unincorporated Urban Growth Areas (UGA) as defined by the Growth Management Act (GMA). The annual update is conducted by collecting UGA polygons directly from each of Washington's 39 counties. As of 2025, there are 27 counties with UGAs.All UGA polygons are normalized against the Department of Revenue's (DOR) "City Boundaries" layer (shared to the Washington Geoportal a.k.a. the GIS Open Data site: geo.wa.gov). The City Boundaries layer was processed into this UGA layer such that any overlapping area of UGA polygons (from authoritative individual counties) was erased. Since DOR polygons and county-sourced UGA polygons do not have perfect topology, many slivers resulted after the erase operation. These are attempted to be irradicated by these processing steps. "Multipart To Singlepart" Esri tool; exploded all polygons to be individualSlivers were mathematically identified using a 4 acre area threshold and a 0.3 "thinness ratio" threshold as described by Esri's "Polygon Sliver" tool. These slivers are merged into the neighboring features using Esri's "Eliminate" tool.Polygons that are less than 5,000 sq. ft. and not part of a DOR city (CITY_NM = Null) were also merged via the "Eliminate" tool. (many very small slivers were manually found yet mathematically did not meet the thinness ratio threshold)The final 8 polygons less than 25 sq. ft. were manually deleted (also slivers but were not lined up against another feature and missed by the "Eliminate" tool runs)Dissolved all features back to multipart using all fieldsAll UGAs polygons remaining are unincorporated areas beyond the city limits. Any polygon with CITY_NM populated originated from the DOR "City Boundaries" layer. The DOR's City Boundaries are updated quarterly by DOR. For the purposes of this UGA layer, the city boundaries was downloaded one time (4/24/2025) and will not be updated quarterly. Therefore, if precise city limits are required by any user of UGA boundaries, please refer to the city boundaries layer and conduct any geoprocessing needed. The DOR's "City Boundaries" layer is available here:https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=69fcb668dc8d49ea8010b6e33e42a13aData is updated in conjunction with the annual statewide parcel layer update. Latest update completed April 2025.

Modifying and maintaining metadata for large batches of ArcGIS items can be a daunting task. Out-of-the-box graphical user interface metadata tools within ArcCatalog 10.x are designed primarily to allow users to interact with metadata for one item at a time. There are, however, a limited number of tools for performing metadata operations on multiple items. Therefore, the need exists to develop tools to modify metadata for numerous items more effectively and efficiently. The Batch Metadata Modifier Tools toolbar is a step in that direction. The Toolbar, which is available as an ArcGIS Add-In, currently contains two tools. The first tool, which is additionally available as a standalone Windows executable application, allows users to update metadata on multiple items iteratively. The tool enables users to modify existing elements, find and replace element content, delete metadata elements, and import metadata elements from external templates. The second tool of the Toolbar, a batch thumbnail creator, enables the batch-creation of the graphic that appears in an item’s metadata, illustrating the data an item contains. Both of these tools make updating metadata in ArcCatalog more efficient, since the tools are able to operate on numerous items iteratively through an easy-to-use graphic interface.

Inspired by "Add GTFS to a Network Dataset" tool by Melinda Morang, I have generated this tool to use GTFS public transit data in ArcGIS so you can run schedule-aware analyses without using the Network Analyst.

The abundant access is the first in series of tools I am developing for ArcGIS to analyse the GTFS data. Simplicity is the main objective here, therefore all the analysis will be done in-fly.

The term "abundant access" is borrowed from Jarrett Walker's book, Human transit. You can use the abundant access to perform transit/pedestrian accessibility analyses, controlling for the number of transfers, walking between transfers, walking to transit and walking from transit. My aim is to develop a method that is useful for practitioners and decision-makers to make day-to-day decisions.

Note: No installation is necessary. This tool is only available for ArcGIS 10.4 or higher. It also works with ArcGIS Pro. This tool is still under development so please feel free to contact me if you encounter bugs or other problems or you simply have ideas or suggestions.For more information and updates, visit www.spatialanalyst.ir.
