Like Continue Feature, and the majority of the modify features tools, the tool will activate on open if the selection is valid for the tool’s criteria. For my scenario, Split is different from Continue Feature because it results in multiple polygon features, one within the other, rather than one polygon feature with a hole. The Split tool, Interactive mode, is the suggested tool to split an existing polygon into two or more features. Split an existing polygon to have a donut hole A new feature is created and the original single part polygon is now a multipart polygon. When the polygon sketch is ready, I finish the sketch and commit the edits. I can digitize a part within the existing polygon to create a donut or digitize new distinct parts using the Finish Part capability as described above. To use the tool, I begin clicking in the map to add vertices to the sketch. Without changing to the core select tool, either select a single polygon feature on the map or, if there are two or more features selected, select one feature on the map or reduce the selection set down to one by interacting with the feature identifier in the tree node. If the selection is not valid, the tool will be in active select mode. Upon opening the tool, if there is a valid selection, which for this tool is one feature, the tool will be active and the feature sketch is shown on the map. The Continue Feature tool is the suggested tool for modifying an existing polygon feature to be a multipart polygon or to add additional parts to a multipart polygon.
Modify an existing polygon to have a donut hole The modify tools are available from the Edit tab tools gallery or from the Modify Features pane. Now, I will discuss modify tools for updating existing polygons. In addition to the new polygon, overlapping polygons are clipped and may result in a multipart polygon. The option takes the input sketch on finish and searches for any existing, intersecting features to clip. Polygon construction tools have an option to clip intersecting polygons within the same feature layer. Some Feature Template construction tools support tool options that can be set at time of use on the Active Template pane or stored with the template’s properties. Create a new polygon and clip intersecting, existing polygons One more note on the context menu, the context menu may look different depending on the feature geometry type being edited and if the right click is on an edge or in open space. The Finish Part command is available on the following tools’ context menu: Feature Template construction tools, Replace Geometry edit tool, Continue Feature edit tool, and Split interactive edit tool. Without the shift key, double clicking will finish the sketch and create the new feature. If you prefer shortcut keys, either hit F4 on the keyboard or hold down the shift key while double clicking to execute the Finish Part menu item. When done, I finish the sketch to create the multipart feature. For a donut, I digitize within an existing part of the sketch.
After choosing Finish Part, the sketch will remain in progress and I simply resume digitizing to add another part. To proceed, I add a part to the sketch by choosing Finish Part from the context menu. I have a sketch in progress and am ready to add the donut hole. For sketching a new multipart polygon, we can use one of the following construction tools: polygon, autocomplete polygon, right angle, or trace. From the Create Features pane, choose a Polygon feature template. I will describe four interactive methods that result in polygon features with donut holes: Create a new multipart polygon Create a new polygon with the clip intersecting option to modify an existing polygon Modify an existing polygon using the Continue Feature tool Modify an existing polygon and output a new polygon using the Split tool.įirst, I will discuss two workflows to create a new multipart polygon using Feature Template construction tools. Although this article focuses on polygons, some of the functionality discussed here is not specific to polygons so please try it out with your workflows and let us know what you think.

In this blog, I will discuss how to create a multipart polygon, specifically a multipart polygon with holes, also known as a donut polygon.
