Improve the functionality of the Raster Layer, Appearance, Band Combination tool. 1. The help document is very slim on how this tool actually works (see attachment). What assumptions does this tool make? 2. What metadata (or other factors) does the tool need/use to identify the type of raster data (landsat 7, 8, or naip etc.) to be able to propose specific band combinations should be documented. The composite bands tool needs to feed the proper data to the metadata so the Band Combination tool can take advantage of this information. 2. The tool will propose band combinations that are incorrect for raster data built using the composite bands tool even though the created raster is valid which leads to little confidence in the Band Combination tool. Knowing how the tool make "decisions" will help to reduce frustrations or writing the tool off entirely. 3. Just how the bands are combined for for Landuse, Vegetation analysis, etc needs to be explained fully (any band calculations) and the references to the methods need to be documented. e.g. is Vegetation analysis the same as NDVI and if not, how is it different? 4. The popup tool tips need better explanations (what assumptions are being made, what band calculations are occuring, etc.) and a link to more complete documentation.

How did you load the HEC-GeoHMS tools on 10.4? The downloads page only seems to have a 10.2 version and that did not load on my system. Thnaks for your help.

Request: Have Data Driven Pages actually produce a thematic map book.
As discussed in the Esri Desktop help:
From the Ersi ArcGIS Help 10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2
Thematic map book
A thematic map book is similar to a reference series, except that the detail pages show unique thematic maps of a single location. The ability to display different unique themes (layers) covering a single location would be invaluable to display the results of a multi phase analysis. I have many clients that are tired of making a separate mxd for each theme.
Following is the clever solution supplied by Esri Support for my initial specific request:
import arcpy, os
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C; file location ")
mxdDDP = mxd.dataDrivenPages
for i in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if i in ["geology_geochem","glaciation","Precipitation Regime","geology_sed"]:
i.visible = False
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
for i in range(mxdDDP.pageCount + 1):
mxdDDP.currentPageID = i
name = mxdDDP.pageRow.getValue(mxdDDP.pageNameField.name)
print name
if name == 'GEO':
for i in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if i.name == "geology_geochem":
i.visible = True
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxdDDP.exportToPDF(r"C:\temp\GEO.pdf", "CURRENT")
i.visible = False
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
if name == 'GEO_sed':
for i in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if i.name == "geology_sed":
i.visible = True
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxdDDP.exportToPDF(r"C:\temp\GEO_sed.pdf", "CURRENT")
i.visible = False
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
if name == 'GLA':
for i in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if i.name == "glaciation":
i.visible = True
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxdDDP.exportToPDF(r"C:\temp\GLA.pdf", "CURRENT")
i.visible = False
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
if name == 'PRE':
for i in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if i.name == "Precipitation Regime":
i.visible = True
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxdDDP.exportToPDF(r"C:\temp\PRE.pdf", "CURRENT")
i.visible = False
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
This solution is just a go-by as my actual need is to display 40 different themes over the same extent.
