Essentially, I am trying to overfit a grid of evenly-distributed points over a polygon. Then I then want to clip out the points that fall outside of said polygon. The goal here is to then export a table of the polygon's X/Y coordinates, so it can be read as a point cloud in other software.
One problem that I'm anticipating is that the coordinates probably need to be converted from long/lat or UTM to just a simple cartesian plane system with an origin (0,0). But for now, I'm mostly concerned with just creating the point grid.
I attached a schematic to help explain what I'm going for here.
How can I go about doing this!?
Point Tools for Prohttps://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f96ede37dcd04c2e96dc903a4ce26244 use the 'mesh points' option and specify your projected coordinate system
Alternately, make a Fishnet, then convert Feature To Points and remove duplicates... if you have the license
