Line vs Polyline vs Poly-Polyline

I was looking through the help documentation for the Spatial Process Tool and it talks about lines, poly lines, and poly-poly lines. What is the difference between these 3 objects?

Hi @enwiegand 

 

Line and Poly-Line are the same in the Designer's view, but Poly-Line is multiple lines.

Poly-Poly-Line is multiple Poly-Lines.

For example, Poly-Poly-Line is created by Summarize Tool that combine the Poly-Line(or Line).

The definitions are different, but I don't think there is a big difference when deal them.

Hi @enwiegand 

 

@AkimasaKajitani has given the best possible explanation with a detailed example for the concept 🙂

 

Explanation is not available in any documentation, most people dont bother about it😅

 

Really appreciate @AkimasaKajitani  effort for explaining the concept by creating a practical example walkthrough.

 

If this the post helps you, i would definitely recommend marking his post as solution.

 

Cheers and Happy Analyzing 😀
