Feature Vertices To Points: Option to honor multipart features

Bud — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 06:13:05 GMT

When using the Feature Vertices To Points geoprocessing tool to get the midpoints of lines:

Currently, the tool produces midpoints for each part of a multi-part line. That's not always what we want. We often want a single midpoint placed at along the line — with all parts of the line still considered as a single feature. Similar to how it would work if the line were a linear referencing line, placing the point halfway along the length of the entire multi-part line.

Could an optional setting be added to that tool that would honor multipart features? (create just one point per feature, instead of points for each part)

Feature Vertices To Points generates MID point per part for a reason. Parts may not be connected in one feature. So it doesn't make sense to find midpoint among disconnected parts.

You can try Feature To Point with the "Inside" option. It generates one point per feature on one of the parts.
