SeaSketch's shapefile parsing tool does not support files that include Z or M values. To prepare such files for upload into SeaSketch, perform the following steps.
To check if a feature has Z (elevation) or M (routing) values
- Open shapefile (.shp) file in ArcGIS
- Open attribute table for .shp file
- Shape* attribute will be PolygonZ or Polygon M
- Only .shp files with Polygon shape attributes will work for
shapefile uploads
If the shapefile has Z or M values:
- Open Geoprocessing->Environments
- M Values -> Output has M Values -> Set to Disabled
- Z Values -> Output has Z Values -> Set to Disabled
Run Feature Class to Feature Class
- Choose old shapefile with Z or M Values as Input Features
- Select new output location and feature class name
- Run the tool
