Generalization Techniques
• Simplify
• Smooth
• Eliminate
• Amalgamate
• Exaggerate
• Collapse
• Thin
Generalization Tools in ArcGIS
• Analysis • Conversion • Spatial Analyst - Production Dissolve
- Erase - Feature class to feature class - Topo To Raster - Prune Hydro
- Identity - Table to Table - Raster Calculator - Remove Cutbacks
- Polygon To Raster - Remove Self Intersections
- Buffer
- Point To Raster - Repair Bad Geometry
- Graphic Buffer (10.5)
• Data Management - Con - Split Narrow Polygons
- Near - Thin Hydro Features
- Integrate - Contour
- Generate Near Table - Add Geometry Attributes - Thin Spot Heights
- Raster to Point
- Copy Features
- Delete Features
• Cartography • Model Only Tools • Defense Mapping
- Feature To Line
- Aggregate Points - Hydro Centerline
- Feature To Point - Select Data
- Aggregate Polygons
- Feature To Polygon - Calculate Value
- Collapse Road Detail
- Feature Vertices to Points - Iterators
- Create Cartographic Partitions
- Minimum Bounding Geometry
- Delineate Built-Up Areas
- Multipart To Singlepart
- Merge Divided Roads • Production Mapping
- Repair Geometry
- Simplify Building - Aggregate Polygons
- Split Line At Vertices
- Simplify Line - Calculate Visual Specification
- Unsplit Line
- Simplify Polygon - Convert Polygons
- Add Field
- Smooth Line - Delete Dangles
- Calculate Field
- Smooth Polygon - Delete Polygons and Extend
- Append
- Thin Road Network Lines
- Copy
- Detect Graphic Conflict - Extend Polygon Sides
- Delete
- Propagate Displacement - Fill Gaps
- Dissolve
- Resolve Building Conflicts - Generalized Shared Features
- Eliminate Polygon Part
- Resolve Road Conflicts - Increase Line Length
- Make Feature Layer
- Feature Outline Masks - Increase Polygon Area
- Select Layer By Attribute
- Update Override - Production Centerline
- Select Layer By Location
- Get Count - Production Clip
Leverage Tools Within Models…
…and Submodels
…and sometimes Python
