Is there a way to create a boundary around multiple polygons where some of the polygons actually have gaps between them? A little tough to see in the images, but some of the polygons do not touch. I'm just trying to get the black line as the outpu

Hi @jeffbutlin​ Try the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner

@jeffbutlin​ I think starting with Dissolver to first create 3 separate areas. Then, use NeighborFinder with a small distance to identify which areas are close. Then Aggregator

If you attached an example dataset then someone might be able to create a minimal - working - example

Thanks Mark. I ran Dan's suggestion above (AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner) and then the Dissolver and it worked quite well for general zoomed out purposes. The only thing I noticed is that the edges don't create perfect 90 degree angles like I would want them too - see 2nd image below. Any idea how to accomplish that?

I've attached a test dataset.

First image below is an example of the starting data, second image is after I run the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner. (Then the Dissolver works well for getting rid of the common boundaries - not shown)

The gaps are much narrower than the sides of the polygons so at least for the TEST dataset you could break the polygons into line segments, extend, intersect and then rebuild into a single polygon.
