I have a fire history file where a point can have multiple fire events over time. I need to keep all the historical info for later analysis but need my info in raster format</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 May 2011 00:00:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/polygon-conversion-to-multiband-raster/m-p/440130#M25116 LaurenCarter1 2011-05-17T00:00:36Z Re: Polygon conversion to multiband raster https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/polygon-conversion-to-multiband-raster/m-p/440131#M25117 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Lauren,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The way I would go about it would be to calculate the unique combination of all fire polygons so where there are overlaps in fires that would become its own polygon.&nbsp; How you want to manage the attributes is another question.&nbsp; If you are only interested in the time since last fire that would be a 1:1 join while if you are interested in keeping all of the fire attributes that would be a 1:M relate.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 May 2011 21:41:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/polygon-conversion-to-multiband-raster/m-p/440131#M25117 ThomasDilts 2011-05-25T21:41:56Z
