How to create a fixed size polygon

RyanBohan — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 23:45:32 GMT

I am trying to figure out how to create polygons of a fixed shape within Pro. Most of them would be 10'x10' square.

We are looking to help with layout of 10'x10' square vendor tent. Snapping multiple together in the case below 50' x 20' would be ten 10'x'10' squares. (Likely a few other stand sizes, fix sized objects)

Previously unit layout was done by a vendor in Adobe Illustrator which while made a graphic map. The AI map was not spatially accurate, which made adjusting the number of vendors difficult.

The goal is to include the maximum number of vendors and keep the required fire lanes open.

Is this possible in ArcGIS Pro?

We also have an experience builder to help navigate to these locations, last year we digitized the map and created points. If we could create the map within Pro this would also remove this extra digitization step.

I know I could create points at add a buffer, however that would result in a circle, not a square.

Thanks for your help Esri community!

with a rotation a bit of editing of the spacing in edit mode, your layout would be partially complete, or the stalls at least

@RyanBohan what do the points you currently have represent with respect to the 10' X 10' squares you are trying to create e.g. does each point represent the centroid of each square? Would the squares be in a pattern as shown in the graphic?

You can use these points as guide to create the squares using general feature contruction tools then use a combination of drawing guides (snapping, inference) and more advanced feature modifying tools like Mirror , Offset or Array to represent repetitive patterns.
