Create buffers around points

Spatial Manager creates buffer polygons around points to show the area within a chosen distance of each location. This is useful for showing a facility’s service area or finding objects near survey points. You can use the same distance for... more


Mapflow AI mapping and imagery analysis to DWG

Mapflow is a cutting-edge geospatial intelligence platform leveraging artificial intelligence to automatically identify and classify geographic objects–such as buildings, roads, and forested areas–within satellite and aerial imagery. Mapflow enables high-precision detection and segmentation, transforming geospatial imagery into actionable insights for... more


Find objects that lie within a polygon - Overlays (3)

In this third example on spatial analysis using Overlays in ‘Spatial Manager’ we will apply the “Intersect” operator. This operator determines the geometries that overlap in the Source and Overlay object groups. Anything that does not overlap is discarded from... more


Clip geometries by a geometric area - Overlays (2)

In this second post dealing with Overlays in ‘Spatial Manager’, we will analyze another interesting operator (Clip), which creates objects from the areas of the Source that overlap with the Overlay. Use Clip in order to find objects that lie... more


Erase polygon parts using overlay functions - Overlays (1)

This post starts a series dedicated to one of the most powerful geometric and data-driven analysis tools included in ‘Spatial Manager’: the Overlay command. There are several operators to apply in the Overlay function, but they always have in common... more


Create buffers around existing geometries

Among the spatial analysis tools included in ‘Spatial Manager’, the Buffer function allows you to generate Buffered polygons around point, linear (lines, polylines, etc.) or polygonal (boundaries) objects. Buffers have multiple applications to analyze objects and their relationship with their... more
