Count How many vertices

DEAF_PROBERT_68 — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:31:35 GMT

Is there a way for me to run a tool or script to call how many vertices of a file geodatabase polygon ?

Robert,

maybe this can help? ArcGIS Help 10.1

You could use the Feature Vertices To Points (Data Management) tool - ArcGIS Help 10.1

Make sure to use the ALL option:

Summary

Creates a feature class containing points generated from specified vertices or locations of the input features.

Yes, Tim is right on with that GP tool. Try:

# Import arcpy
import arcpy

# Define the tool parameters
in_fc = r"[path_to_your_polygon_fc]"
out_fc = r"[path_to_point_fc]"

# Convert the feature vertices to points
arcpy.FeatureVerticesToPoints_management(in_fc, out_fc)

# Count the features and print the answer
print(int(arcpy.GetCount_management(out_fc).getOutput(0)))

I hope it works for you!

Warm Regards,

Is that for shapefiles only ? What about geodatabases ?

Never mind. I got it to work.
