Scrape Data Tool

The next part in the process is to scrape the photo data. Once all the photos are in the correct place and data has been entered on the photo chips during classification, select the scrape data tool to automatically pull the data into attributes at each node. 

When the tool is clicked, the "SCRAPE PHOTO DATA" window will pop up, asking whether you want to "Scrape all" nodes or select which nodes are scraped. If you choose "Scrape Selected,” you are then able to draw a polygon around the section of nodes you want to scrape. Clicking “Scrape All” will scrape data for all nodes.

Once you make your selection, the Scrape Photo Results window will pop up to show nodes that need to be updated with data (i.e. the company needs to be entered for the pole_tag attribute). Here, you can click on the magnifying glass icon to go to the location or you can click the “X” to close the window and go through the job pole by pole to update information.

If you select a pole and open up the attributes panel on the right, you should notice that any attributes entered when classifying photos now appear here at the pole. If needed, you can always add attributes manually to the top of the panel, and the three dot menu at the top allows you to enable trash cans so that you can delete any attributes.
