Radian Studio

Launch Radian, explore the four laws, and add databases or files to a project, while comparing data stored inside Radian to linked data and handling millions of parcel centers quickly.

Explore the radian interface by examining panes and the project pane, and see how components such as tables, drawings, images, maps, queries, scripts, and folders organize and interact.

Learn to use context-sensitive toolbars to manage map components, toggle layers, and zoom, pan, and select objects while editing waterway and parcel data in Radian Studio.

Explore the file, edit, view, and tools menus in Radian Studio and learn how context-sensitive options adapt to maps, tables, and images, including importing, exporting, and linking data.

Master the edit menu in Radian Studio by using select tools, templates, and SQL statements on parcels, then apply the transform tool to buffer and style geometry.

Learn to edit tables in radian, perform selections, finds, and replacements, and apply transformations while editing the schema and managing selection sets across maps and drawings.

Explore editing a map component by selecting parcels and waterways, applying queries and selection tools, and creating buffers and transforms to perform overlay topologies like intersect and identity.

Explore how the view, tools, and help menus organize map components, with zoom, panes, and window control, while learning coordinate systems fundamentals and projections in Manifold Radiant Studio.

Create drawings from tables in Radian, from scratch, from an existing table, or from a new table, and learn the drawing anatomy with geometry, coordinate system, and spatial index.

Learn to create drawings from a Radian template using transforms and geometry fields; build new geometry fields, set latitude and longitude coordinates, and align maps with Mercator projections.

Import and link file formats in Radian Studio, bring in shape files and an Excel tree table, create geometry and unique IDs, and build drawings and maps.

Explore enterprise and file databases within Radian Studio by importing data sources from PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and Sequel Lite, transforming geometries, and exchanging data across systems.

Import raster formats including DEM and TIFF images from USGS into the radian raster directory, adjust color channels and shading, and enable alpha to reveal buildings beneath the base map.

Explore how Radian Studio connects to diverse web servers and image services, enabling seamless integration of Google satellite, Open Street Map, Open Cycle Map, and USGS data for spatial analytics.

learn how to transfer data between diverse databases using radian studio, copying tables between manifold, postgresql, sequel lite, and second life datasets, and apply transforms and buffers to selected features.

Explore transform templates in Radian Studio to modify attributes, compute new fields like house value from assessment and land values, and visualize geometry buffers and topology overlays.

Learn to write and run SQL queries in Radian, using select, where, and geometry functions to analyze parcels, firm flood zones, and hydrographer data, including multi-table joins and basic analytics.

Explore how to build and run complex sql queries using the radian studio query builder, including string functions, geometry handling, and overlay topology intersect with templates.

Explore how to use group by to perform aggregate calculations—average, sum, and count—then group by property class or flood zone, order results, fetch top values, and compute area with geometry.

Learn to work with disparate databases by building cross-database queries in sequel light and PostgreSQL, using a query builder and native commands to filter geometry and zone.

Master radian studio to perform spatial and tabular analytics across databases. Explore the geo reference forum, latest releases, code samples, and related courses and books to deepen your skills.
