How to: Line of Sight Analysis in ArcGIS Urban

It’s common practice to analyze the line of sight from certain viewpoints within and around a development. Therefore, we have introduced an interactive line of sight analysis tool to analyze visibility in your scenarios. The tool allows you to choose an observer location then place points on buildings, ground, and other objects to evaluate the direct lines of visibility. For example, you might want to evaluate the view from a new building development to the coastline and determine whether the view is obstructed by other buildings. Note that the tool uses red and green lines to visualize whether the view between points is obstructed or not.
