How to fix a polygon error in geodatabase?
Polygon errors are created where polygons from the two feature classes or subtypes overlap. Remove Overlap removes the overlapping geometry from the feature causing the error. You can choose the feature to preserve or apply the fix to all errors. Merge adds the geometry of one feature into the other feature causing the error.
What are the rules for Polygon feature classes?
Each polygon must contain exactly one point. Each point must fall within a polygon. Use this rule to make sure that there is a one-to-one correspondence between features of a polygon feature class and a point feature class, for example, when parcels must contain exactly one address point.
How to remove overlap from a polygon feature?
Remove Overlap removes the overlapping geometry from the feature causing the error. You can choose the feature to preserve or apply the fix to all errors. Create Feature creates a new polygon feature from the error shape and removes the portion of overlap from each of the features.
How to merge and create polygons in ArcGIS?
Create Feature creates a new polygon feature from the error shape and removes the portion of overlap from each of the features. The result is a planar representation of the feature geometry. Merge adds the geometry of one feature into the other feature causing the error.
How are polygons covered in the geodatabase topology?
All polygons in the first feature class and all polygons in the second feature class must cover each other. This means that feature class one (1) must be covered by feature class two (2), and feature class two (2) must be covered by a feature class of feature class one (1).
When do polygons have to be covered by another polygon?
Polygons in one feature class or subtype must be covered by a single polygon from another feature class or subtype. Use this rule when you want one set of polygons to be covered by some part of another single polygon in another feature class or subtype, for example, when counties must be covered by states.
