Convex Hull

Select a group of objects, including polylines and polygons. Click the Draw | Edit Boundaries | Convex Hull command or click the button. A new polygon is created around the selected set of objects. The new polygon is determined by using the outermost edges along selected objects. Each edge is connected by a straight line to the next edge.

 

The Convex Hull command creates a new

area around selected objects.

 

NOTE: A convex hull cannot be created from only two points or from only a single two point polyline because building a polygon requires at least three points.
