(2) Getting Started The following general tips are offered for getting started with CV: Files and folder structure o A “CV Analysis” folder contains several standard sub-folders, a geodatabase that includes all “dynamic” layers (see definition below), and an ArcMap .mxd project. o The entire folder “<NAME> Tree Canopy Scenario Tools” needs to be copied to a folder on the local C: drive, preferably “C:\CVFiles”. Note that this directory is created when CommunityViz Scenario 360 is installed and is recommended. Opening and Saving a CV Analysis (see example on next page below in this section) o Do not use ArcMap ‘Open’ to open the .mxd. Instead, use the red “Scenario 360” icon in the Scenario 360 Toolbar and either browse to C:\CVFiles and into the analysis folder—or—open a recent analysis. A Scenario 360 project will look like this: o Saving the .mxd can simply be done using the ArcMap save command. Editing Data in a CV Analysis o Begin/end editing either by using the Start Editing options in ArcMap, in CV under the Analysis tab (Content window), or by using the Scenario 360 toolbar Start Scenario Editing button . o All other editing and saving is done using ArcMap standard functions. Software Versions o The “TV CV” tools were created using version 4.3 of CommunityViz. o They will work in ArcMap 10.0 or 10.1 (the versions most widely used at time of project completion). An analysis can be “down-saved” from 10.1 to 10.0 through the following simple steps: Open the v10.1 CV analysis in ArcMap using Scenario 360 as usual Under “File”, choose “Save as Copy” and select v10.0 from the dropdown. Name the copy with 100 in the name so it reads “CVAnalysis100.mxd. Close the .mxd and DO NOT save. In ArcCatalog under the CV analysis folder in C:CVFiles, delete the .mxd without “100” in the name (the v10.1 map document) and then rename the .mxd with “100” in the name to the original “CVAnalysis.mxd.”
