Summary

Defines the behavior of a split operation on a feature class.

Learn more about setting the split model for a feature class

Usage

• When editing features and a feature is split, the split model will define how the split operation handles the split features in the table.

• Every feature class has the default split model, Update/Insert, defined upon creation. If the split model has been changed, you can run this tool using the Update/Insert option for the Split Model parameter to reset the split model to the default.

• If the split model property is set to Delete/Insert/Insert, the minimum client version will be set to ArcGIS Pro 2.6. This means you cannot use data from ArcGIS Desktop or earlier versions of ArcGIS AllSource.

• If the input feature class is stored in an enterprise geodatabase, this tool must be run as the data owner.
