I have kmz files of tracked hunting dogs and beaters (see picture), and want to know the size of the area they covered. Is there a way to do that using ArcMap?</P><P>I tried merging the polylines (the tracks) and generate a new polygon feature, but it does not work correctly. Or should I simply "draw" a free-hand polygon?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you!</P> Fri, 26 Mar 2021 10:45:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/total-area-covered-by-tracking/m-p/1040985#M2207 JustineGüldenpfennig 2021-03-26T10:45:03Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/total-area-covered-by-tracking/m-p/1040994#M2208 <P>You could use&nbsp;<A href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/data-management-toolbox/minimum-bounding-geometry.htm" target="_self">Minimum Bounding Geometry</A>&nbsp;with "Convex Hull" as the geometry type.</P><P>I used it on a river network.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Jayanta_Poddar_0-1616756541851.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9450i1104A2D6F56D0634/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Jayanta_Poddar_0-1616756541851.png" alt="Jayanta_Poddar_0-1616756541851.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Result for original streams</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Jayanta_Poddar_1-1616756621226.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9451i2CF4CDD610584ABA/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Jayanta_Poddar_1-1616756621226.png" alt="Jayanta_Poddar_1-1616756621226.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Result with Merged/Dissolved Streams</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Jayanta_Poddar_3-1616756732907.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9453iA75ED5E69A5A6DD7/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Jayanta_Poddar_3-1616756732907.png" alt="Jayanta_Poddar_3-1616756732907.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 26 Mar 2021 11:07:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/total-area-covered-by-tracking/m-p/1040994#M2208 JayantaPoddar 2021-03-26T11:07:28Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/total-area-covered-by-tracking/m-p/1041031#M2209 <P>That looks nice, and seems to work just fine for me.
