Create a grid for individual features...

williamcarr — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:43:45 GMT

Greetings,

I am attempting to to create a model and am looking for advice in direction. I have a series of polygon features roughly 1 sq. mile ( plss section grids). I need to make a 2 x 2 grid inside of these features. I have successfully accomplished this in a test using both the Grid Index Features and Create fishnet tools using a single feature polygon. The problem with both of these tools is that they create a grid of the extent of all the polygons, rather than each polygon themselves.

This is the first step in my model and I'm already stumped. Any ideas?

thanks.

Look into iteration, you can use Iterate Features to select each polygon in a feature set and run it through the Create Fishnet tool one at a time. This can get tricky but it is possible.

Ran tests on this for two days then set model to run over the weekend. It didn't work, but I figured out the problem (You were right, it does get a little tricky) and it's working with proper iterations.

Thanks again
