Normalizing all surfaces

You can normalize all surfaces in the network. In this process, the sizes of the surfaces are calculated correctly (Fundamentals: Multi-part surfaces).

You only need this functionality if you have previously read in a network or a shapefile without normalizing the surfaces (Opening and saving a network file and adding comments and Importing Shapefiles).

1.  From the Edit menu, choose Surfaces > Normalize surfaces (self-intersecting test).

The Normalize surfaces (self-intersecting test) window opens.

2.  Select the desired option for the network object types.

Element

Description

All

If this option has been selected, all surfaces of the network object type are normalized.

None

If this option has been selected, no surface of the network object type is normalized.

Only active ones

If this option has been selected, the Open the 'Filters' dialog symbol becomes available. You can activate network objects via the filter (Using filters to set network objects active or passive).

3.  Confirm with OK.

The desired surfaces in the network are normalized.
