Aligns, moves, and hides building or bridge marker symbols based on product specification rules defined in an .xml file.
If this tool is run with a building offset XML rule file, it aligns, moves, and hides building marker symbols based on product specification rules defined in an .xml file. If this tool is run with a bridge offset XML rule file, it calculates the offsets necessary to properly display bridges at a given location.
For a bridge offset XML rule file, offsets can be calculated for either line bridge or point bridge features. For a line bridge feature, an offset will be calculated for the width of a bridge based on the overpassing feature that runs through the bridge.
For point bridges, offsets include the following:
A product file installer is available for ArcGIS Production Mapping and ArcGIS Defense Mapping. The product files contain predefined XML rule files that can be used for cartographic production.
Learn more about Defense Mapping product files and Production Mapping product files.
The feature layers referenced in the rule file must have their symbology defined pursuant to the product specification using Arcade expressions.
The layers must have attribute-driven symbology enabled for marker symbols.
The tool will create an ABO_Rotation field in the Buildings table if one does not already exist and connect the rotation property of building marker symbols to this attribute.
When a point feature class is used for Input Bridge Features, the following double fields are added:
When a line feature class is used for Input Bridge Features, the following double field is added:

Input Map
| The input map that contains the layers with proper symbology. This can be a map in the application or an .mapx file on disk. | Map |

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ApplyBuildingOffsets function to align, move, and hide building marker symbols based on the MGCP XML rule file.
