Point To Polygon Z(M) Wizard

Converts a point data set to a polygon Z (M) feature class. Attaches to the polygon attribute table the values of the attributes for the first and last point that form a single polygon.

Inputs:

• A point feature layer
  • REQUIRED: an ID field which value defines the points to be used for creation of each polygon
  • REQUIRED: a numeric field with Z (M) values that will be applied to the vertices of the newly created Polygons Z (M)
  • OPTIONAL: an Order field that defines in what sequence the points describe the polygon. If no Order field is used the order is defined by the record number of the points
  • OPTIONAL: a Link field. The values for the first and last point that will form a single polygon will be added to the polygon attribute table.
• Type of the output polygon feature class - Z and/or M

Outputs:

• New polygon Z, M or ZM feature class
• Fields to be added to the polyline attribute table
  • [ET_ID] - the field used as Polygon ID
  • [ET_FromAtt] - the values of the start point of the polygon in the Link field (if link field is used)
  • [ET_ToAtt] - the values of the end point of the polygon in the Link field (if link field is used)
