A local city representative has reached out to me to see observations within their city. (Arlington, TX). There is not currently a place that has the city boundary, so I attempted to create one using a KML file from Google Earth. I’m still getting the error msg “There were problems importing that…

[image] kimberlietx: <Point> <coordinates> -97.1080656,32.735687,0 This kml describes a single point, not a polygon. You can get a boundary from the city’s open data portal – let me know if you need any help with that.

What a great tip, @jwidness ! That is a gold mine. @kimberlietx , were you able to find the kml file you needed?

Thank you! I’ve never tried to import an existing boundary, only created new polygons so this is a learning experience. Actually, a double-learning experience. The city happens to have other municipalities inside it’s border, so I had to take out the extra polygons. Thanks so much for your help!…
