Hello all!
Some background first: I work for a large company that owns numerous other companies that all have a large real estate portfolio. For a dozen years before I started, the company kept a master Google Earth .kml file with the boundaries of our real estate portfolio, neatly sorted by the following hierarchy:
Operating Company 2) Property Code
Within each property code there is a boundary for the tax parcel, the boundary of what we lease, and finally a little pin that has the property code:
My company understands that I have some ArcGIS experience, and would like to switch to mapping our properties on ArcGIS..so I have been tasked with this process.
My problem is that when I convert a .kml to a layer, it throws all points and polygons together in one layer, with no hierarchy like I had in Google Earth.
Ideally in the contents pane (and eventually on a map published to ArcGIS online for those without a license) I would like to group individual properties together like we currently have them in Google Earth. Is this possible? Or would I have to save each property individually and then convert them to a layer? Or can you think of any easier way to display some sort of hierarchy like in Google Earth? Thanks!
