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

Parameter	Description	Notes
Input vector file	The vector file that contains multipart geometries.	Required
Output vector file	The 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.
