Presented at the 22nd Annual OKSCAUG Conference in September 2019 this presentation discusses how a small municipality can enjoy the benefits of a GIS without a significant investment. Using ArcGIS (Basic) and ArcGIS Online, this presentation illustrates how a municipality can develop a comprehensive GIS for their parcels, street centerlines, utilities, easements and other data layers. Topics to be discussed in the presentation include the following: (a) Assessment of Current Esri Software and Hardware, (b) Assessment of Existing Records, (c) GIS Database Design (Custom versus LGIM), (d) GIS Database Development, (e) Application Development and (f) GIS and Application Deployment.

Presented at the SCAUG 20th Annual Conference in September 2017 this presentation discusses how 2D GIS data can be imported into CityEngine to create a 3D GIS. This paper describes the process of importing ortho-imagery, trees, street lights, street centerlines and building footprints to create a 3D GIS model for 2 square miles of a City.

Presented at the SCAUG 20th Annual Conference in September 2017 this presentation discusses how the City of Edmond, Oklahoma developed its Traffic Sign Inventory database and maintains the database in an ArcGIS environment. This presentation is a case study of a project the City undertook with The CEDRA Corporation. Right-Click here and select Save Target As for the PowerPoint, or click here for the PDF.

This is a case study summarizing an on-going project The CEDRA Corporation has with the City of Edmond, Oklahoma involving surveying, utility mapping, GIS database maintenance and application development. The City's population is approximately 90,000 and the utility services involves more than 27,000 water and 36,000 electric accounts. This paper discusses the process of how the CEDRA utilizes survey information and as-built drawings to maintain the City's utilities within ArcGIS. Click here for the PDF.

This is a case study summarizing a project The CEDRA Corporation performed for Peco Energy Company. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, PECO is the largest combination utility company in Pennsylavania. Much of PECO's electric and gas data resides in their ArcGIS enterprise GIS for visualization and analysis, while their gas construction drawings are produced in their Bentley CAD system by their designers. The issue of how to transfer GIS data to their CAD group was critical. This paper discusses how PECO and CEDRA worked together to address this issue. Click here for the PDF.

This is a case study summarizing an on-going project The CEDRA Corporation has with Bradford County, Florida. This paper discusses the work CEDRA is performing for the County in implementing a County-wide implementation of ArcGIS Online. Click here for the PDF.

Presented at the GIS/SIG 26th Annual Conference in April 2017 this presentation discusses how the City of Edmond, Oklahoma developed its Traffic Sign Inventory database and maintains the database in an ArcGIS environment.

Presented at the Esri Annual User Conference in 2015 this presentation is divided into two sections. The first describes an application that computes the design elevation of a well pad such that cut and fill volumes are within a user-defined tolerance. The second discusses issues in routing heavy and wide load vehicles to the well pad site, as well as to other similar projects. Click here for the PowerPoint, or here for the PDF.

Presented at the Esri Survey and Engineering GIS Summit in 2007 this presentation discusses how ArcGIS, ArcMap specifically, was modified to perform civil engineering and surveying applications. Although the presentation is geared for civil engineers and surveyors, there are tools which are presented that are applicable to other disciplines, such as the plan and profile drawing generation. In addition, the approach taken to modifying ArcMap for civil engineering and surveying purposes can be used for other disciplines, such as architecture, environmental engineering and so forth.

Presented at the Esri Annual User Conference in 2003 this presentation discusses a streamlined approach to converting Avenue scripts into VBA or VB format for use in ArcGIS 9.x or 10.x. Covered in the presentation are a series of "wraparound" procedures providing a one-to-one correspondence with Avenue requests. Click here for the PowerPoint, or here for the PDF.
