Back to top. To find a roof's Azimuth i. Click the "Azimuth Tool" button to guide you through measuring the azimuth direction of a roof edge.

Remember me. New User Forgot Password. Roof Azimuth Tool. The units are in degrees, from 0 on the horizon to 90 overhead. The default is 45 degrees. The hillshade example below has an azimuth of degrees and an altitude of 45 degrees. By placing an elevation raster on top of a hillshade raster and adjusting the transparency by using the Layer Transparency slider on the Appearance tab of the elevation raster , you can easily create a visually appealing relief map of a landscape. You can add other layers, such as land-use types, vegetation, roads, or streams, to further increase the informational content in the display.

By modeling shade the default option , you can calculate the local illumination and whether the cell falls in a shadow or not. By modeling shadow, you can identify each cell that will be in the shadow of another cell at a particular time of day. Cells that are in the shadow of another cell are coded 0; all other cells are coded with integers from 1 to You can reclassify all values greater than 1 to 1, producing a binary output raster. In the example below, the black areas are in shadow.

The azimuth is the same in each image, but the sun angle altitude has been modified. To calculate the shade value, first the altitude and azimuth of the illumination source are needed. These values will be processed with calculations for slope and aspect to determine the final hillshade value for each cell in the output raster.

The script finds, for each near feature, the input features it is closest to. Feedback on this topic? Back to Top. Summary Calculates distance and additional proximity information between the input features and the closest feature in another layer or feature class.

Usage The following fields will be added to the input. The value is in the linear unit of the input features coordinate system or meters when the Method parameter is set to Geodesic and the input is in a geographic coordinate system.

This field is only added to the output table if multiple near features are specified. If no near feature is found, the value will be empty string or null.

Planar — Planar distances will be used between the features. This is the default. Geodesic — Geodesic distances will be used between features. This method takes into account the curvature of the spheroid and correctly deals with data near the dateline and poles. Feature Layer. Code sample Near example 1 Python window The following Python interactive window script demonstrates how to use the Near function in immediate mode.
