Challenge #95: Draw 1000 Apples in Under 60 Seconds

LHolmes
9 - Comet

Challenging but satisfying. A great way to dig into some tool configurations. Learned a bunch of new things out of this...i'm sure you will too!

 

This solution is extended just a tad by using the recognized attribute from the data to draw the "bad apples" green. Example in spoiler.

This one is a challenge! I haven't fully solved this yet as I keep getting stumped on:

"Non point object in PolyBuild" for records: #389, #472, #749, #928 and #994.

 

Back to the drawing board! Going to take a peek at other solutions here in my search!

It never occurred to me that you could use spatial tools to draw the apples for the report! This problem took me almost a whole day to complete, even with looking at other people's solutions. If you're stuck on this problem, soldier on! You'll learn a lot by the end of it.

I found this to be a very humbling experience. I've got a lot to learn! Overall, it was a very fun challenge though. Always interesting to see how other people approach their solutions.

My solution for challenge 95! Good refresher for the reporting tools and nice to learn a couple of new things, for example how you can draw images using the Create Points tool.
