ArcGIS Pro 3.3 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates a feature class of singlepart features by separating multipart 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.

  • Each part of a multipart feature will be separated into individual features in the output feature class. Features that are already singlepart will not be affected.

  • Most of the output feature types will be the same as input (input polygons remain polygons; input lines remain lines). If the input features are of type multipoint, the output feature class will be type point.

  • To reconstruct multipart features from singlepart features based on a common field value, such as ORIG_FID, use the Dissolve tool.

  • A multipatch feature will be separated into its constituent geometry parts. Each part can be defined by a collection of vertices containing x-, y-, and z-coordinates that are arranged as follows:

    • Individual triangles that reference three vertices.
    • Triangle strips that are defined by multiple triangles that successively share one common edge.
    • Triangle fans that are defined by multiple triangles with a common point of origin.
    • Rings that represent a coplanar region whose boundary is defined by four or more vertices.
