The minimum bounding geometry tool is working fine on my data, but when I try using the "group" option, I get ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
I would like generate two polygons, A and B, which are the convex hull of their corresponding group of points. This is what the attribute table of my point shapefile looks like:
lat long ID
Ax1 Ay1 nameA
Ax2 Ay2 nameA
Ax3 Ay3 nameA
Bx1 By1 nameB
Bx2 By2 nameB
Bx3 By3 nameB
I can run the MBG (Minimum Bounding Geometry) tool for all the data and get one big polygon. But this isn't what I want; I want individual polygons based on their ID. When I use the "group" function within the MBG tool, I select LIST and my ID column. But the process fails and I get the aforementioned error.
Other details: I am using ArcMap 10.3.1. The exact error log is as follows:
Input features
- sheet$ Events
- Geometry Type: Convex Hull
- Group Option: List
- Group Field: ID
- Add geometry characteristics as attributes to output: NO_MBG_FIELDS
