Your videos are hands down the best GIS videos on UA-cam. So clear, so informative, and not boring! Thank you for putting in the time and energy to create them. I've shared them amongst the GIS people within my department and going to post onto Twitter and Reddit bc I think a lot more people in GIS (amateurs or advanced) could learn a lot. Thanks again :)
Glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for spreading the word, I could use all the exposure I can get. I don’t know if you’ve seen one of my videos where I’m begging people to get interviewed, but I’m still looking for candidates- would you be willing to chat with me for an hour? It wouldn’t go on the channel, this is an assignment I have for a class I’m taking.
Having one channel that shows real, hands-on applications is so refreshing. I'm over the hours of searching to learn a few new tweaks or a new approach that can make my GIS work smarter instead of harder. I have no time for full-on ESRI coursework; show me how to do it, and I'll be a happy camper! So, thanks for your effort and positive approach. :) You are appreciated!
Thank you for such a kind comment! I have been doing livestreams every Friday (almost) where I enter a subdivision in real time if you are interested. Friday 12pm mountain.
Very good video. I have been doing GIS for over 17 years and because of the nature of my job, I've not had to learn these more robust features. However, it's always good to learn as much as you can in your chosen field of work and this has given me so much more information on how this part of GIS works. Thank you very much for your videos.
Great video. Love editing videos as we all tend to fall into a rut. Our regular workflow becomes habit. Its always great to learn how another user approaches a task.
@@GISChops Nothing specific. I'm starting the transition to Pro. Loved your mask transparency technique to show only the line work on the SD plat. Most of the plats I georeference have quite a bit of "background noise" and its usually easier to leave the background unmasked. Thanks again for your content.
@@Fraid-Knot I wanted to show the imagery behind the plat for the video, I usually don’t use the mask in my regular workflow. Would you be interested in being interviewed by me as part of an assignment I have for a class I’m taking? If you follow me on Instagram and send me a DM, I can send you a link to my schedule.
This is great. We are in the planning phase of migrating to the fabric from standalone line and poly feature classes and this video helped so much. Will make sure all the editors see it.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! Good luck in your transition. I have plans to do more Parcel data entry videos covering the traverse tool in detail and highlighting some pitfalls and how to spot entry errors.
Great video, i started working for the local tax appraisal office and been there just under a year now and work in the ownership/mapping department. Our mapping person has never been trained on ArcGIS. I just saw that we know nothing regarding creating parcels using the sub plats. I have set my goal to purchase a personal account for GIS and learn the mapping. I’m pretty sure your channel will come in very handy…thanks for the great content. Oh and by the way, when I saw that gaming keyboard/mouse I almost yelled YEAH hahaha. I use my Logitech Pro mouse in the office, so useful with the 4 macro buttons. Anyways, thanks again.
Thanks for such a great comment! I love entering parcel data, it’s my favorite. Would you want to do an interview with me? I have to do about twenty more.
Suuuppeerrr helpful! Been cadastral mapping since 2016, using Fabric since 2019, and we are now migrating to Pro in a couple of months. Will definitely come back to this vid a few times in the near future! Thanks a ton!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for being a regular commenter, it means a lot to me. Have you seen the video I released earlier today? I'm conducting interviews with people in GIS about their experiences getting into the field, that video has instructions on how to get on my schedule for an interview. I think you're a great candidate. Follow my Instagram account and send me a DM and I'll send you a link to my schedule.
This was great. I am still using ArcMap for my cadastral mapping. Hopefully one day can upgrade and be able to use parcel fabric. It would help a ton I think. Great video!
Greetings! I am finding your videos to be quite an excellent tool since they are clear and concise. Is there anyway you can do another video on Subdivision entry, but this time can you spend a few more minutes explaining how to enter/read curve data from the plats? I am struggling understanding or reading the actual plats and knowing when or where the data starts/stops and applies to when entering this with the Traverse tool. Please help a budding GIS technician!!
@@GISChops Yes! So cool! Can you pick a Plat that is from the 1970s and probably has some printed/calculetd errors, like the one I'm using now 😄? What I wouldn't give to have just one hour of your expertise in person! I'm struggling with subdivision cul-de-sacs and also know how to get my head around using the radius (on the ROW) curve data for parcel edges and just even getting across the street to start a new block (when the parcels don't touch!)
Back in those days they labeled as little as possible because it was done by hand, leaving it up to the reader to deduce a lot of the information. They may have labeled the radius of the centerline making us add or subtract to get the ROW radius. Can you send me the plat with which you’re having trouble? My email is my channel name, no spaces at gmail dot com.
The menu ribbon at the top of my screen doesn't have the "Records" and "Quality" tabs. Is this a special add-on software I must purchase from ESRI or is it possible to include by going to Options? I didn't find it in options. Thanks.
A bit late to the party, i love your videos. Do you know where I could find a course about this things? Never really seen anything like this, the use of legal descriptions, metes and bounds, and all of this in GIS and using COGO is all so new to me as a non american, but I love it!
Thanks for the kind comment. I have been thinking about doing live streams of me entering subdivisions, would you be interested in watching something like that? In which time zone are you located?
@@GISChops for sure! Would love to see those streams, I could prolly even put them in the background at work, I live in Colombia, I actually work for the government here and came back to this since they're starting to implement parcel fabrics!
Thought I would ask here since you are using the Traverse tool. I am having a devil of a time figuring out why when I COGO in Map Vs Pro I get two different line lengths. I seems like the Traverse tool in Pro is measuring the Planer length while Map is using the Geodesic Length. How do you change the length on the line segment in Pro to show the Geodesic length so that my work in Pro wil l match that in Map? Thanks for your time. Love the videos.
@@GISChops it has to be in the options or how my project was imported into Pro. I set up a new Project in Pro to test and it works fine. I am just stumped as to why it happens in an old project. I type in a bearing and distance in traverse and it labels it as correct but if you go to the measure tool and change between Planar and Geodesic you get two different distances. I am stumped!
Getting ready to migrate to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap and I am not looking forward to this! Just from watching a few videos like yours, it looks like there a quite a lot more steps involved in PRO than in ArcMap. I do have to ask how you got the plat into a layer and draw off of that?
Most things are better in Pro. I do miss the way you could specify a from point and to point in the traverse tool in ArcMap. I have a video showing how I georeference a plat - Georeferencing in ArcGIS Pro ua-cam.com/video/IrUT2o8r8iQ/v-deo.html
Good morning. Do you have, or do you plan to create, a video for, labelling for subdivision parcels? We currently have individual label FC and any changes, movement, or editing requires a lot of time to ensure everything is updated/changed. Thanks

3.0 is supposed to have lots of parcel fabric updates, including fixing the slowness of the Traverse Tool I complain about in the video.

There are some things I still miss about the ArcMap fabric - there was a lot less clicking with that version.
Also.. we need some GIS chops merch!! 😂 how cool would that be!
Working on some designs for t shirts. Then I need to figure out the best way to distribute. 🤣
@@GISChops understandable!! 😂 Well I’ll definitely be purchasing if you figure it out!

You need to have a parcel fabric in your map for those tabs to appear.
Wow, can we get sample data to practice this exercise?
I’ll have to see if I can get a link to the plat.

Good morning. Do you have, or do you plan to create, a video for, labelling for subdivision parcels? We currently have individual label FC and any changes, movement, or editing requires a lot of time to ensure everything is updated/changed. Thanks
Do you use an annotation layer? Or are you using dynamic labeling?
hard to believe that someone who can do this, might need to brush up on Georeferencing.
I love working with legal descriptions. I could do it all day if I could ignore the phone and emails. :)
