topic Polygon query based upon specific internal dimensions in Geoprocessing Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/polygon-query-based-upon-specific-internal/m-p/84583#M2910 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>- dataset contains polygons of varying shapes and sizes.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- query: select all polygons that can completely contain a circle with an area of 416sq.m</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The obvious is to select by area &gt; 416. However this will select a polygon 1m by 416m and not completely fulfill what is desired.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So my question is... Is there a way to query the internal dimensions or geometry of a polygon for length and a perpendicular offset that would allow this circle to fit completely inside? Can each polygon side be checked for length and then the perp length to another side?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>This is a real query; the polygons are areas classified as hardstanding and the circle represents the rotating blades of a helicopter + a 50% buffer for clearance. I am identifying emergency landing sites for post hurricane scenarios.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help will be greatly appreciated!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Sean Patterson</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Mar 2014 23:16:30 GMT SeanPatterson 2014-03-17T23:16:30Z Polygon query based upon specific internal dimensions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/polygon-query-based-upon-specific-internal/m-p/84583#M2910 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>- dataset contains polygons of varying shapes and sizes.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- query: select all polygons that can completely contain a circle with an area of 416sq.m</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The obvious is to select by area &gt; 416.
