Raster to Polygon Simplify Polygons option not working as expected

RobW

Hi.  I am running the Raster to Polygon tool with the Simplify Polygons option off (unchecked).   

I expect (and my ultimate goal is) to get a polygon version of the raster where the polygon boundaries match the raster cell 'boundaries' exactly (e.g. 20x 20 metre cell boundary).  

However, when adjacent cells have the same value, the resulting polygon is a merged polygon.  See the pic for a visual where the resulting poly feature class is the dashed lines and the raster grid values are indicated. 

Do the polygons merge because the input raster requires unique values?   If so, any ideas on how to make each cell unique, but maintain the original grid cell value?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt responses. 

The fishnet solution and split polygon is something I considered, but the size and complexity of the data pushed me away from this.  

However, the split polygon method made me search for similar tools and I found Subdivide Polygon.

This tool gave me the option to split the polygons into equal area of a target size and control the angle (both important for my analysis). Stacked blocks option also produced the better results in my case. 

Although imperfect,  this method appears to have outputted a feature class appropriate for my analysis.
