Tutorial: Analyzing Data
About the Analyzing Data Tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates the following ways to analyze data in AutoCAD Map
3D:
■
Analyze data visually, using surfaces.
Connect to a surface (DEM) image and style it using a theme to show relative
elevation. Then, connect to a file that shows parcel information and make
the parcels semi-transparent so you can see the raster image below them.
The elevation theme of the raster helps you see the elevation of the parcels.
■
Analyze data with external information using joins.
Join a Microsoft Access database to a parcels layer to see information about
the parcel owners. Joins combine data sources temporarily, without altering
the original data stores. Use the combined data as though it were a single
data source. For example, style a layer based on its joined data, even though
the joined data is not part of the original layer data store. Create calculated
fields using native and joined data.
■
Analyze data by proximity using buffers.
Define a buffer around a street to see which parcels lie within a construction
zone. Select the parcels that adjoin the buffer and save them separately so
you can notify their owners, using the owner information you joined to the
parcels.
Export relevant data to a comma-separated file that you can import into
Microsoft Excel or Access. Use that data to create a report to send to the
owners.

Perform a flood analysis with Overlay.
