It's more flexible and forgiving. Usually you can open it and then drag and drop files onto it.</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 14 Nov 2022 20:20:37 GMT Brian_Wilson 2022-11-14T20:20:37Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conversion-from-google-earth-to-arcgis-pro/m-p/1230959#M62152 <P class="">Hello all!</P><P class="">Some background first: I work for a large company that owns numerous other companies that all have a large real estate portfolio. For a dozen years before I started, the company kept a master Google Earth .kml file with the boundaries of our real estate portfolio, neatly sorted by the following hierarchy:</P><OL class=""><LI><P class="">Operating Company 2) Property Code</P></LI></OL><P class="">Within each property code there is a boundary for the tax parcel, the boundary of what we lease, and finally a little pin that has the property code:</P><P class="">My company understands that I have<SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN><EM><STRONG>some</STRONG></EM><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN>ArcGIS experience, and would like to switch to mapping our properties on ArcGIS..so I have been tasked with this process.</P><P class="">My problem is that when I convert a .kml to a layer, it throws all points and polygons together in one layer, with no hierarchy like I had in Google Earth.</P><P class="">Ideally in the contents pane (and eventually on a map published to ArcGIS online for those without a license) I would like to group individual properties together like we currently have them in Google Earth. Is this possible? Or would I have to save each property individually and then convert them to a layer? Or can you think of any easier way to display some sort of hierarchy like in Google Earth? Thanks!</P> Fri, 11 Nov 2022 19:00:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conversion-from-google-earth-to-arcgis-pro/m-p/1230959#M62152 jgstaley 2022-11-11T19:00:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conversion-from-google-earth-to-arcgis-pro/m-p/1231214#M62181 <P>You could set your symbology to Unique Values set to either the Property Code or the Operating Company, however you want thenm arranged.&nbsp; The TOC will group them in a single layer but they will be seperated according to the symbology layer.</P> Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:29:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conversion-from-google-earth-to-arcgis-pro/m-p/1231214#M62181 cmwrenn3 2022-11-14T13:29:24Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conversion-from-google-earth-to-arcgis-pro/m-p/1231420#M62214 <P>Sometimes opening non-Esri files in QGIS will give you some insights.
