Points along a multipart polyline feature based on a field value

UmaMahesh1 — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 02:57:53 GMT

I have to generate points along a line based on a field [PrkngSpacs] value. I need to do this for around 10k lines in a multipart polyline feature. I checked few tools available that generates points based on distance and intervals. They are working fine with single line, but i do not know how to make them loop through each of my attribute values in [PrkngSpacs] field and create same number of points. Any help in how to accomplish this is much appreciated.

You could experiment with a small sample and convert the multipart to singlepart, do the densification, then Dissolve back to multipart after the densification.

It would be helpful if you could elaborate on:

I checked few tools available that generates points based on distance and intervals.

If there are geoprocessing tools that only work on single-part geometries and not multi-part geometries, there may be defects involved.

Thank you Dan and Joshua for responding to my query. I could accomplish my task by using "Create points on Polylines with Arcpy" toolbox developed by Ian.
