This tool is being used to union two or more geometries which are at a particular distance from each other and these geometries can contain exclusions(inner ring).&nbsp;&nbsp; But the issue we are facing is if the exclusion polygon(inner ring) contains 3 vertices, then Aggregate Polygon is removing the exclusion polygon. We tried with so many parameters and even tried with giving some values in Minimum_Hole_Size but no success. Any help would be very much appreciated.&nbsp; Please find attached document which explains the issue using ArcMap.&nbsp; Please let me know if you need more information. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>SR</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:37:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/aggregate-polygon-tool-nbsp-defect-polygon-with/m-p/608173#M20210 LakshmananVenkatesan 2013-07-11T16:37:52Z Re: Aggregate Polygon tool - Defect - Polygon with exclusion ring https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/aggregate-polygon-tool-nbsp-defect-polygon-with/m-p/608174#M20211 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Have you tried to project your data and then use Aggregate Polygons?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Jul 2013 22:45:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/aggregate-polygon-tool-nbsp-defect-polygon-with/m-p/608174#M20211 DanLee 2013-07-16T22:45:34Z Re: Aggregate Polygon tool - Defect - Polygon with exclusion ring https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/aggregate-polygon-tool-nbsp-defect-polygon-with/m-p/608175#M20212 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>ESRI Agreed this as a defect in 10.0.
