Disperse Points

Disperses (separates) the coincident points. The first point in a location preserves its coordinates. Every next point found in the same location is moved randomly within user defined maximum offset distance from its original location.

Inputs:

• A Point feature class
• Maximum allowed offset - the duplicate points will move no further than this tolerance from their original location.

Outputs:

• New point feature class. Fields:
  • The attributes of the original features will be preserved.
  • [ET_Status] field will be added. The values in this field will indicate whether the resulting point is in its original position or has been relocated.
