Create single features from Union output

DwightLanier

I have a single feature class containing numerous polygons that overlap in different ways.  After running the union tool I now have multiple polygons where the input features overlapped, but there are multiple polygons for each input.  What I would like is a single polygon at the intersected space, with attributes from all original input features appended, or some statistic from them (min, max, etc.).  Ideas?

hi Dwight,

  first make a copy of your data.

 What you'd want to do is identify all the features with identical geometry.  This can be done with the `Find Identical` gp tool.  

 Then get your stats together:  the output of previous step you could use  as input to `Summary Statistics` gp tool with the FEAT_SEQ as the CASE_FIELD and choose whichever stats you want for each field. 

 Lastly you'll need to get the data back together into a single dataset... i think `Delete Identical` and `Join Fields` should do it ... there'll be a bit of trickiness to getting the JOIN , but pretty sure all the data is there.
