The Visibility toolset contains tools that are used to determine line of sight between objects. These tools create outputs to represent linear line of sight or radial line of sight. The toolset also includes tools that identify the best terrain where line of sight analysis should be performed.
These tools answer questions about visibility, such as the following:
- Do I have line of sight to the object I am interested in?
- How much of the surrounding area can I see from a certain point?
- Where is there a peak to provide the best viewing location?
