Feature Vertices To Points (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates a feature class containing points generated from specified vertices or locations of the input features.

Usage

  • The attributes of the input features will be maintained in the output feature class. A new field, ORIG_FID, will be added to the output feature class and set to the input feature IDs.

  • For multipart lines or polygons, each part will be treated as a line. Therefore, each part will have its own start, end, and mid points, as well as possible dangle point(s).

  • A parametric (true) curve has only the start and end points and will not be densified.

  • For the Dangle option of the Point Type parameter on the dialog box (the point_location parameter in Python), an additional field, DANGLE_LEN carrying the dangle length values in feature unit, will be added to the output feature class. For an isolated line, both endpoints are dangle points; therefore, the dangle length is the line length itself. For a dangle line that intersects another line at one of its endpoints, the dangle length is measured from the dangling endpoint to the intersection.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Features

The input features that can be line or polygon.

Feature Layer
Output Feature Class

The output point feature class.

Feature Class
Point Type
(Optional)

Specifies where an output point will be created.

  • All verticesA point will be created at each input feature vertex. This is the default.
  • MidpointA point will be created at the midpoint, not necessarily a vertex, of each input line or polygon boundary.
  • Start vertexA point will be created at the start point (first vertex) of each input feature.
  • End vertexA point will be created at the end point (last vertex) of each input feature.
  • Both start and end vertexTwo points will be created, one at the start point and another at the endpoint of each input feature.
  • Dangling vertexA dangle point will be created for any start or end point of an input line, if that point is not connected to another line at any location along that line. This option does not apply to polygon input.
