Osaka_Ali Asks: Changing un-orthogonal polygons to orthogonal ones in ArcGIS Pro
I am creating polygonal features in ArcGIS Pro 2.8.0 for a buildings layer of a site survey project. Working in a team, some of the polygons representing building footprints were not created with the benefit of using the "Right Angle Polygon" tool. If that had been used to begin with, the footprint-representing polygons would all be orthogonal (right angles in every corner).
Unfortunately, they are not.
Using the 'Edit Vertices' or 'Reshape' tools doesn't contain any parameters that I can find that offer the option of generating an orthogonal feature as an end result. The best offering from the documentation is at this link, but it only refers to polygon creation, not edits.
Am I missing an obvious method or technique to achieve the desired result as per my illustrations (upper image: before; lower image: desired state, after)? I find it hard to believe that there doesn't exist a means to accomplish this in the Edit menus or elsewhere.
