| Aug 17, 2011 at 20:58 | comment | added | Patrick | Wow. Same process but with a 0.5 meter cell size would be similar. Alternately, convert your extracted points back to a 1m raster based on the unique point values, convert that raster to polygons (or polylines if the resulting points don't need to relate to the centroids), then use Data Management Tools > Feature Vertices to Points (requires ArcInfo). And there's yet another option if you have network analyst. | |

| Aug 17, 2011 at 20:39 | comment | added | PatrickW | @Patrick~ now I have been asked to obtain points for the corners of each grid cell as well as the centroid? Any suggestions? | |
| Aug 17, 2011 at 18:00 | comment | added | Patrick | If you use the workflow above, you will produce a set of points with an X field and a Y field. | |
| Aug 17, 2011 at 17:58 | comment | added | PatrickW | I have a polygon of the county, I need to find a way to create an attribute table to represent each cell per meter. Any ideas? | |
| Aug 17, 2011 at 17:36 | comment | added | PatrickW | @Patrick I'm just got a trial of spatial analyst. So I'm working on that part now. | |

| Aug 12, 2011 at 19:59 | comment | added | whuber | +1: if this has to be done, rasters are the way to do it. Moreover, the inherent runlength encoding used by ESRI's raster format will compress even this ~10^10 cell raster into a few megabytes; only the vector output will be large (and tedious to generate). I do worry about what the output is intended for, though... | |
