Density and convert to polygon

jaykapalczynski

I have a point file that is spread over the state

I want to create a heat map based on a count field in the point data.

From there I want to create a polygon layer that shows the rings.

What I want is a value associated with the rings themselves...say 1-5 depending on the heat map/ kernel density representation.

I can then use those polygon rings for search/select boundaries

I tried to use Kernel density

I then try to convert to polygon and says invalid GP Type.  I used the int function in tools and it only creates a single record....Very confused..

Any thoughts?

I figured out a solution that worked for me....don know if this is the only way but it worked and sick of trying...

• I used Kernel Density and created a Raster
  1. I then classified it to 10 classes
• I then did a Reclassify on the Raster which actually created a table on the raster.
• I then was able to go Raster to Polygon directly 
  1. This created all the proper rings based on the reclassified value.
