Aggregate Polygons
(Go to the main page of the function)

Combines the polygons that are within the user specified distance into new polygons. Can be used also to generalize buildings.

Command line syntax

ET_GPAggregatePolygons <input_dataset> <out_feature class> <Aggregate_tolerance> <area_tolerance> 

Parameters

Expression Explanation
<input_dataset> A Polyline feature class or feature layer
<out_feature class> A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
<Aggregate_tolerance> A Double representing  the aggregation distance. The polygons that are closer to each other than this distance will be combined
<area_tolerance> A Double representing  the minimum area of holes to be preserved. All holes with area less than this tolerance will be removed.

Scripting syntax
