Description: Visual Resource Management (VRM) is a means of managing visual resources by designating areas as one of four classes: (1) Class I-maintaining a landscape setting that appears unaltered by humans, (2) Class II-designing proposed alterations so as to retain the existing character of the landscape, (3) Class III-designing proposed alterations so as to partially retain the existing character of the landscape, and (4) Class IV-providing for management activities which require major modifications of the existing character of the landscape. Polygons were created by assigning particular geometries as either VRM Class I or Undesignated, and these were merged together according to class. Then, during an edit session clip was used to remove overlap in the following order - VRM Class I, then Undesignated.
