Description: SilvAssist is a toolbar developed by F4 Tech for ArcGIS Desktop to streamline the forest inventory process. Tools include:

  • Plot allocator – for creating cruise grids
  • Spatial Overlay – push stand attributes to Plots layer.
  • Waypoint Converter – converts cruise grids to SOLO Forest waypoint format.
  • Plot Loader – loads plot and tree data from TCruise database into your SilvAssist spatial geodatabase.
  • Reporting and Analytics – Complete set of inventory reports, stand and stock tables, and statistics.
  • GnY Utility – prepares/converts inventory data into the tabular format required for import into the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) growth and yield application from the US Forest Service.
  • Event Management – streamlines the process of entering and maintaining events such as harvests, silvicultural treatments, and inventory.

Compatibility:  SilvAssist 3.0 has been tested with Windows 7, 8, and 10 and should work with ArcGIS Desktop versions 10.0 -10.2.2 and also with versions 10.6 - 10.7.1.  Please be aware that F4 Tech has ended support and development work (including bug fixes) on all versions of SilvAssist for ArcGIS Desktop.   If you have purchased a SilvAssist 3.0 license or upgrade, you may continue to use it but be aware that future Windows or ArcGIS updates could break it.  LMSS has worked to duplicate most of the reporting functionality of SilvAssist within TCruise Desktop by way of the Excel and Access reporting modules.  Plot allocation functionality has also been replicated in our EZ Plot toolbar for ArcGIS.  Contact us for more info.

Both TCruise Desktop and the LandMark Export Module will need to be installed to be able to use the SilvAssist Plot Loader and Reporting and Analytics tools.

Installers:  Contact us at support@LMSSmail.com for information and links for SilvAssist installers.

Sample Forestry geodatabases for use with SilvAssist: If you are new to geodatabases, you can download one of the samples below that matches your location (UTM zone). Layers inside include Plots, Tract, Stands, and Roads. Save the geodatabase to your PC in the location where you store your GIS Data.

TCruise Pro Optional Modules - $300/module/user.

  1. Pro toolbar with the following functions:
    • Sample size estimator - designed for stratified, multi stand cruises to help users determine samples needed to meet defined allowable error requirements based cruise method, stand size, and standard deviation estimates for each stand/strata.
    • Plot allocator - creates cruise grid based on several allocation types for single stands. Batch allocation is also possible when parameters are defined in the stand/strata shapefile. Sample size for each stand can also be estimated based on CV, cruise method, and stand/strata area.
    • Overlay tool - this tool can apply stand/strata ID's by loading in a projected polygon shapefile that overlays the plots. The polygon shapefile must contain a StandID or StrataID field (text) along with an Acres field. Cruise plots must have a Lat-Long coordinate assigned which is automatically applied when using RTI or the GPS capture button in TCruise for Mobile Devices. This tool can also automate the entry of Stand/Stratum land area in TCruise Desktop Pro.
  2. Excel-based reporting - 20+ Excel worksheets with a variety of standard report types and tables for analysis or for joining to GIS layers. To implement the new reports, users will need to make a few minor updates to their existing templates and TCD files. Detailed instructions for these updates are here.
  3. Growth & Yield utility - COMING SOON. This utility will use models from Mississippi State (MSU), PTAEDA (VA Tech), and USFS and will automate the loading of stand table data, applying parameters, and database output.

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
