To Create Shapes from Boundaries and Centroids

  1. Place a fence around the desired linear elements.
  2. Select the Create Shapes tool from the Topology Creation toolbox.
  3. Make any desired changes to line symbologies.
  4. (Optional) Set the Force Complex option within the Create Shapes tool settings window.

    If on, a complex shape is created.

    If off, a simple shape is created. However, if the original elements that define the shape contain more than 100 vertices, a complex shape is created regardless of the Force Complex option setting.

  5. Enter a data point to accept the fence.

    Shortly, shapes are created from the linear elements.

    Note: Force Complex preserves the original linear elements as distinct elements.
