ArcGIS - Raster to Polygon conversion

Video #38 In this brief video you can see how I turn raster areas into vector polygons. In the previous video I created a viewshed - which is a raster - using 3D Analyst. But I now want to use that viewshed in other analyses, using vector processing tools. The Raster to Polygon tool turns your raster surfaces into standard polygons and comes with ArcMap - you don't need an extension to run this tool. Note how it creates a large polygon for the 'non-visible' areas which I then just delete to make the vector layer a lot clearer. However, you may want that object so its up to you if wanted to keep it or not.
