This feature class has been created by the "Raster to point" tool. The original data was a DEM. I would like to reduce the size of this feature class</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way to generalize this feature class so that I will keep, for example, only 1 points each 10 points ? Or generalizing by calculating a mean value for every 4x4 grid in my feature class ? Or anything else that could reduce the number of points in my shapefile ?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you for your help,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Kevin</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:17:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-generalize-a-point-feature-class/m-p/492957#M28013 Anonymous User 2012-01-23T17:17:49Z Re: How to generalize a point feature class https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-generalize-a-point-feature-class/m-p/492958#M28014 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You can use the </SPAN><A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//009z00000034000000.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aggregate </A><SPAN>tool to create a reduced resolution raster, then create points from those larger cells (requires Spatial Analyst).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:54:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-generalize-a-point-feature-class/m-p/492958#M28014 DarrenWiens2 2012-01-23T17:54:12Z
