Attribute table doesn't show all characteristics of item

SimonField

Hi,

Probably a very basic query here. I have a feature class of buildings in an area of a city, these can be displayed in ArcMap. The attribute table of the feature class only contains an ID, the 'Shape' field (all items are 'Polygon') and the building height field. What I would like to know is where the other attributes of each building are stored such as the building location (x,y coordinates?) and the shape of the building that allow it to be displayed on a map?

Many thanks.

Those are all stored in the Shape field. Take a look at this page in the documentation that explains what that Shape field contains:
