Hello!
I am using ARCGIS 9.3 and working on a project on calculating the frontal area of buildings of a certain area upon different wind directions. i am kind of stuck in between, would you have any suggestions on how to do it?
My instructor suggested a method shifting the layer and finding the frontal area by calculating the area differences of the same polygon (please see attached)
But I couldn't understand on it....
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you!!!
