I want to split a worldwide 'road dataset' into multiple grids/blocks-extents, depending on the amount of features resides in that block-extent. If the amount of features(inside that block) is still above the count of features I want, then it must split the first block into too pieces and so on..., until it has the right amount of features inside that block-extent before I can use an function like PolygonToRater and after that the mosaic function.

I came up with this route/possible solution, because i have a lot of errors while trying to raster-rise worldwide road datasets.

ExecuteErrors:ERROR 999998 and 999999: Unexpected Error. Failed to execute(PolygonToRaster).

So, if anyone have some experience with this issue, I would gladly know how to solve this issue!

Thanks....

Martijn

If this is just a one-off operation (you only need to convert the roads once) then it may be faster to simply create a regular mesh polygon with a small square size, use it to cut up your roads, and rasterize those (rather than spending lots of time coming up with the ultimate, most efficient algorithm which you'll never use again) – Stephen Lead Aug 28 '12 at 4:35
