Spatial Manager Blog : Tricks and Tools

Generates polygons (closed polylines) by sequentially joining the individual points that define their perimeter. Useful for rebuilding area objects from boundary point sets (parcels, enclosures, plots, etc.). Points may be classified by an attribute; each distinct value groups its points... more

Reduces the number of vertices in polylines or polygons to simplify their geometry, optimizing complexity while preserving the overall shape. This function improves performance and visualization of spatial data by removing unnecessary detail. When applied to adjacent polygons, care should... more

Generates an envelope or bounding box for the selected geometries, representing the smallest rectangle that completely contains each object. This operation is commonly used to generalize shapes, define spatial extents, or prepare data for indexing, visualization, or spatial queries, providing... more

Converts individual points into connected polylines by automatically following their original sequence or by ordering them according to a specified attribute. This functionality is especially useful for creating linear elements like paths, routes, or boundaries from point datasets. ... more

Creates the smallest convex polygon that fully encloses a selected set of geometries. This operation is ideal for generating bounding areas, simplifying complex datasets, and supporting spatial analysis. The resulting polygon provides the minimal convex envelope around the input features,... more

Allows a closed boundary to be used as a trimming edge to cut intersecting geometries, with the option to keep elements inside or outside the boundary. This makes the tool ideal for refining drawings, isolating areas of interest, or cleaning... more
