I have some culvert polylines that were collected and I would like them to be straight without having to manually delete the vertices between end points. Is there a tool to do this for the whole shapefile without Python.

I suppose you could select start- and endpoint by an expression, save them to a new layer and then convert these points back to lines. – Erik Oct 14 '20 at 15:06

1Perhaps simplify with a huge tolerance. It should not remove the start and end points. – user30184 Oct 14 '20 at 15:37

You might look at the Feature Vertices to Points tool to look for start and end points or perhaps dangle points. – johns Oct 14 '20 at 18:29

Check out Simplify By Straight Lines and Circular Arcs. With the right parameters, this should take care of it for you. – JoshC Oct 14 '20 at 19:06

Thank you for the responses, I will look into those options. I am so glad I joined this chat room today! – S. Stockton Oct 14 '20 at 19:13
