This workshop will explore the Parcel Fabric data structure, exploring the data feature class schemas, attributes, rules, and relationship classes and how they work together to provide this very efficient parcel maintenance solution.
In this workshop, in addition to exploring the standard Record-Driven workflow associated with parcel maintenance in the Parcel Fabric, including Merging parcels, splitting using a Metes and bounds description, splitting a parcel using an Aliquot description, and combining workflows to build Subdivisions and Lots, we integrated some quality control components that are used for checking for overlaps and gaps and updating dimension labels.

In this workshop, we explored several simple ways to make editing in ArcGIS Pro easier and more streamlined. Among the tips included Configuring Enable and Disable Editing, Resetting the Panes for Editing, Autosaving Edits, creating backup project files, clearing the display cache, customizing the Quick Access Toolbar, using Inference, and creating and modifying feature templates for editing.

We are at the 2024 ESRI User Conference in San Diego, so there is no workshop today!!
If you are here, find us, and let’s talk parcels!!
IN observance of Independence Day, we will not be having a workshop today. Happy 4th!!!
This workshop reviewed and demonstrated many approaches to identifying and correcting problem parcels in our Parcel Fabrics, including correcting densified curves, using the merge points, shrink to seed and reconstruct from seed tools. While we have previously reviewed many of these approaches, this workshop also discussed why specific approaches work better than others.

The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric is highly regarded for its extensive features and functionalities in handling land parcel data. Its advanced tools ensure data integrity, accuracy, historical tracking, and compliance with cadastral standards. It is the top choice for various organizations and agencies engaged in land administration, cadastral mapping, real estate activities, and urban planning tasks.
Participants delved into additional tools to enhance parcel maintenance efficiency during the workshop. These tools include the COGO Types attribute field within lines feature classes, labeling customization using COGO Type, boundary reconstruction, identifying gaps and overlaps through Highlight functionality, lineage chart creation, and schema report generation, providing a comprehensive approach to proficient parcel management.

This presentation was a discussion and overview by Ned Cake and Dan Thomas of the Tallahassee - Leon County GIS ArcGIS Online Organization and how others can better use their accounts. It included discussions about content management, layers, maps, apps, galleries, branding, metadata, groups, categories, basemaps, user administration, data maintenance, user-edited content, and best practices.

This workshop will review the many changes and new Parcel Fabric functionalities available in ArcGIS Pro, including lineage charts, Before and After maps and enhancements to the Highlight Gaps and Overlaps functionality.
During this workshop, we further explored the parcel fabric advantages over basic polygons for parcel management. We focused on manipulating parcel locations and boundaries through various tools available within the parcel fabric system, including merge points, shrink-to-seed, reconstruct-from-seed, and manipulating the different topology settings.

We have been discussing for months why ArcGIS Pro is so much better than ArcMap, especially the advanced tools and editing. We built on that discussion to show why the Parcel Fabric is better than simple polygons when managing parcels and why it is the best solution for maintaining parcels. In this workshop, we discussed the advantages, including Structure, Functionality, Workflow, and Transparency.

In this workshop, we explored how to use the ArcGIS Pro extrusion process to display 3D parcels within the Parcel Fabric. By adding a few new attributes and setting the display properly, you can start to view your parcels in 3D. In addition, we will discuss how to use the Range Selector to select what level parcels are displayed and selectable.

In this workshop, we will simple feature classes for lines and polygons and demonstrate how to create and maintain parcel data outside the Parcel Fabric using ArcGIS Pro tools and techniques.
While we are a huge advocate of using the Parcel Fabric, many Clients have expressed reluctance to move into the Parcel Fabric for resource issues. This workshop will demonstrate how to move to ArcGIS Pro for Parcel Mapping.
This should be a great discussion - please join us.
In this workshop, we examined the various techniques for mapping easement rights in ArcGIS Pro, both simple features and the Parcel Fabric. We looked at simple strip easements, and easements in subdivisions and explore the tools used to construct them. Since we demonstrated both simple features and the Parcel Fabric, you could compare the efforts to construct and the resulting data to help you understand the differences.

During this workshop, we explored various ways to use Geometric Construction techniques in ArcGIS Pro. These techniques do not use COGO (coordinate geometry), but use other means to ensure the geometric relationships between features are correctly maintained. The constraints and tools reviewed include Line Construction Tools, Parallel, Perpendicular, Distance, Circular Arcs, Spiral Curve, Copy Parallel, Extend or Trim, Continue Feature, Line Intersection, Fillet, Array, Mirror, and Offset. This was a great refresher in mapping things “old school”.
To build on a topic discussed recently, we took some time to explore some of the options available in the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric to identify and “fix” bad data. What is “bad” data and how do we determine the “best” way to fix it? Among the topics were: using shrink to seed and reconstruct from seed, mismatched distances, too short, and identifying and fixing features missing record information.

In this workshop we explored the way in which georeferencing an image in ArcGIS Pro occurs, how it works, and why we would do that. In addition, we explored the use of Editing Grids and the Inference constraints.
It is a good “throwback” and review that could benefit everyone.
The latest version of the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric allows for the creation of “Strata Parcels”, parcels containing sufficient information from which 3-dimensional parcels can be extracted. This presentation explores the ways in which we have mapped Condominiums in the past, the new “Strata Parcels” and discusses the process by which they are created and used in property assessment.

Responding to a few questions from our clients, we looked at various workflows for “fixing” or correcting previous mapping errors. In addition, we discussed how to use the Shrink to Seed and Reconstruct Parcels instead of Align Parcels, how to append lines to records, and discussed the difference between 2-point COGO lines and polylines and when to use each.
