Deleting part of a feature

Production Mapping provides several functions for working with multipart features.

Examples of multipart polygon and polyline features

If you have a multipart feature where you do not need all the parts any longer, you can remove parts by deleting them. This deletes the part of the feature entirely and updates the geometry attributes of the feature such as the length and area.

Examples of parts that have been deleted from a multipart polygon feature and a polyline feature, respectively
