LayerLogic: Common Applications

Questions answered. Problems solved.

Find the name of the nearest... Add a Smart Field to Layer A that gives the name of the nearest feature in Layer B. Closest school to a house lot? Closest fire station?

Count the features in... Count the number of customer addresses in each sales territory. Save time with automatic updates as new customers are added or territories are redrawn.

Location rating... Assign rating scores to features based on their attributes. Best habitat? Best real estate investment?

Search and replace text... Change "South City" to "North Suburb" for certain addresses in your database when the ZIP code changes. It only takes a minute.

Project costs... If the project goes in here and we have to run roads and infrastructure, how much will it cost? What if we move it to there?

Convert units... Change acre-feet to cubic yards – or dozens of others – without looking it up. Conversion factors are already stored in LayerLogic.

Flag expiration dates... Use the Time and Date functions to check whether the expiration date on a permit is later than today. LayerLogic knows what time it is.

Interactive what if assessments... Select 5 candidate work sites and get an immediate analysis of the overall project costs. Select 5 different candidates and get new results.

Virtual buffers... Quickly measure how many acres of cropland lie within X feet of a power line.

Random distributions... Pick sample sites or survey sites using uniform or Gaussian distributions proportional to population or density.

Slopes and erosion... Find the average slope of a study site. Estimate erosion based on slope and soil types.

Running statistics... Monitor averages, totals, counts, and other statistics in a separate window as you work. Use standard statistical measures or make your own.

Manage data fields... Split or combine text field names. Check for invalid codes and replace if needed.

Find neighbors and abuttors... Find or count abutting parcels. Attribute every parcel with a list of those it touches.
