Frequently Asked Queries

What types of geometry boundaries are parsed?

The tool supports POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOLYGON, and GEOMETRYCOLLECTION definitions.

Can I associate variables with the geometry lines?

Attributes are not natively supported in raw WKT text lines. Future updates will support imports from CSV tables with accompanying attribute columns.

How do of projection settings apply?

Calculations default to standard systems, but you can assign target projections using parameter arguments.
