My density map being "squared off"

[JokimElli]

Hi Guys!

New to arcGIS and trying to find out why my density map is being "squared off" like this. I've been testing out a bunch of different settings but to no avail.

Any tips?

Hello Jokim,

What are you creating your density map in, ArcGIS Pro? Have you altered the environment settings when creating it (particularly the "extent")? 

Best,

Megan

Hi Megan, thanks for replying.

Yes, sorry, it's in Pro. I use the standard settings and population field "NONE"

You need to set your extents in the geoprocessing environment to be a larger extent. In Pro, it is in the tools Environments tab>Extent>Choose a layer that is larger than the dataset that you are running the tool on.

In ArcMap this is in the tools environment menu>processing extent> Extent.  Choose a layer that is larger than the dataset that you are running the tool on.
