I actually did this a few weeks ago but I can't remember how.

I want to create points on the perimeter of a set of polygons at a specific distance interval. I am using ArcMap.

I could do Polygon Vertices to Points, but that would only give me points on the vertices, which I don't necessarily want. What I want is a regular set of points on the perimeter of the polygons.

This is my base polygons:

Base Polygons

And this is what I would like to get (the points at regular intervals):

Final Points

Any ideas?

You could Use the Densify tool and set as parameter the distance you want between the point.

Then you do a polygon to point processing

  • That worked pretty well. I think it's not how I did it the first time around (I can't remember how...) but it works just fine. Thanks!

In ArcGIS Pro you can use the Generate Points Along Lines tool in the Data Management Toolbox.
