Suitability Analysis

Hi ,

I'm trying to figure it out if there is any tool available on Arcmap which help to identify maximum number of polygons which I can fit in a Polygon. As in, If I've a Polygon of 30 Mtr, so tool should divide the 30 mtr polygon automatically to fit maximum possible number of other polygon of suppose 4/6 Mtr size. Please refer the attached image.

And secondly is it possible to create polygon favorites of some size. When user selects that favorite and click on map, it will create polygon of that dimension automatically.

Thanks!

Your first question deals with "polygon packing" (search that), which by all accounts, is very difficult and there is no good solution unless your boundary polygon is simple (e.g. a circle, square, etc.).

Thanks for the quick reply. I will research on that.
