Multipart to Singlepart

Overview​

The Multipart to Singlepart tool converts multipart geometries to singlepart geometries.

Use Cases​

  • Generate standardized results when multipart features need to be split into singlepart features.
  • Use as an intermediate step in a longer GIS processing chain before subsequent analysis.
  • Improve efficiency in batch processing, repeated runs, or standardized delivery workflows.

Parameters​

ParameterDescriptionNotes
Input vector fileThe vector file that contains multipart geometries.Required
Output vector fileThe output vector file containing the converted singlepart geometries.Required

Steps​

  1. Start the tool: Open the Geoprocessing Toolbox, go to Vector Tools > Feature Processing > Split, and open the Multipart to Singlepart tool pane.
  2. Prepare the input: Select the Input vector file and confirm that the input data is complete and readable.
  3. Set the core parameters: Configure the core parameters according to your processing goal.
  4. Set the output: Specify the Output vector file, and confirm that the output path, format, and naming meet downstream requirements.
  5. Run and check the result: Click Run to execute the task, then check whether the result geometry, fields, and spatial locations are as expected.

Notes​

  • Before processing production data in batches, test the parameter settings with a small sample dataset.
