About Dissolving Overlapping Polygons

If the dissolve overlapping polygons setting is selected, the growth of the moving window is limited to the maximum patch area size. Limiting the grow window produces overlapping polygons that must be dissolved as the final step in the extraction. This setting is useful for tracing boundaries around vegetation areas or in general when tracing boundaries around points where squaring is not used.

How to Dissolve Overlapping Polygons

Dissolve Overlapping Polygons Option

1. On the Point Group Tracing and Squaring property page, click the Dissolve Overlapping Polygons option to dissolve the overlapping polygons produced by the tracing routine (e.g., vegetation outlines).
