What is the intersect feature?
About the Intersect Feature. With the Intersect tool you can create a curve where a surface intersects with other surfaces or a datum plane. You can also create a curve at the intersection of two sketches or sketched datum curves that become surfaces after they are extruded.
Is polygon self intersecting?
Polygons are two-dimensional shapes consisting of a cycle of line segments. A polygon can be self-intersecting, meaning edges cross other edges. (The points of intersection are not vertices.)
What happens when you intersect two polygon classes?
The graphic below illustrates the result of intersecting two polygon feature classes with the Output Type parameter set to LINE. The output line features are where a polygon from one of the input feature classes share a common boundary (intersect at a line) with a polygon from the other input feature class.
What happens to the Point class in intersect?
No points are generated in the output where lines lie directly along polygon boundaries. The graphic below illustrates the result of intersecting point, line, and polygon feature classes. The output can only be a point feature class.
What does intersect at a line mean in ArcGIS?
The output line features are where a polygon from one of the input feature classes share a common boundary (intersect at a line) with a polygon from the other input feature class. The graphic below illustrates the result of intersecting two polygon feature classes with the Output Type parameter set to POINT.
Where do lines touch on a polygon boundary?
The output point features are where line endpoints touch at a point on the polygon boundary and where lines cross polygon boundaries. No points are generated in the output where lines lie directly along polygon boundaries. The graphic below illustrates the result of intersecting point, line, and polygon feature classes.
