Geographic Information Systems Asked on October 5, 2021
I had to create boundary of raster layer, so I used raster to polygon to get the boundary. But the boundary has many holes based on the original raster which I want to get rid of as I only need the outer-boundary or extent for my analysis.
I have considered creating a new polygon and snapping the edge to this layer but I think there is a simpler way to do this?
Image below – referring to purple boundary
A simply way I remove holes from a polygon is to:
1] Go into edit mode and select the polygon
2] Click on modify button
3] Click on Edit vertices so vertices show up as green dots
4] In the modify panel your outer ring should be part 1, all holes are parts 2+.
5] Simply selecting a vertex will confirm this for you. Look for the flash on the screen.
6] Select all vertices in all others parts and click on delete (red cross)
If you have millions of polygons with millions of holes (which you don't actually say) then a python solution would be a better solution. Just search this forum.
