https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/why-can-t-i-use-calculate-geometry/m-p/1357188#M75968 <P>I have made an intersect with a raster I converted to a polygon and a buffer I made from a line feature. I would like to calculate the area of this intersect but am unable to do so. Would anyone know why this is this the case and anyway to solve the issue?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="cannot calculate geometry.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88124i62B7963F1AE44E54/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="cannot calculate geometry.png" alt="cannot calculate geometry.png" /><span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();">cannot calculate geometry.png</span></span></P> Wed, 06 Dec 2023 00:16:26 GMT KalenEyre 2023-12-06T00:16:26Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/why-can-t-i-use-calculate-geometry/m-p/1357188#M75968 <P>I have made an intersect with a raster I converted to a polygon and a buffer I made from a line feature.
