| Oct 19, 2017 at 23:40 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | That's another good idea @LennertDeFeyter, but first, being a shapefile, you would need to add a field to store geometry area and calculate field !shape.area! (be sure to use python or python 9.3 and not VB). | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 23:36 | comment | added | Lennert De Feyter | Can you filter based on area size? | |
