Fuzzy alignment of restricted traffic areas

You can perform a fuzzy alignment for restricted traffic areas surfaces in the network. Then the points of a surface are moved, within a defined threshold, towards a reference surface. This allows you to remove unwanted overlaps or gaps (Fundamentals: Fuzzy surface alignment)

Note: When importing shapefiles, you can specify whether you want to perform a fuzzy surface alignment (Importing Shapefiles).

1.  If required, set the restricted traffic areas active whose surfaces you want to align via

• the spatial selection (Setting network objects active/passive via the spatial selection) and/or
• filter criteria (Using filters to set network objects active or passive).

The selected restricted traffic areas are active.

2.  In the Network editor window, click the Edit mode icon .

3.  In the Network window, right-click the Toll systems button.

A shortcut menu opens.

4.  Select the Fuzzy surface alignment entry.

The Fuzzy surface alignment window opens.

5.  Make the desired changes.

Element	Description
Surface set column	Selection of surfaces that are edited (Editing surface set).
Tolerance column	Enter a value for the tolerance range. The tolerance range specifies the radius within which the points of a surface may be moved. If you enter 0 for a surface set, it becomes a reference set and is not moved.
	Adds an additional surface set.
	Deletes the surface set selected. Note To select multiple surface sets, hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired entries.
Normalize surfaces after execution	If the option has been selected, the fuzzily aligned surfaces will be also be normalized (Fundamentals: Multi-part surfaces).
Merge all points with identical co-ordinates after execution (all surfaces in network)	If the option has been selected, all points of the fuzzily aligned surfaces with identical co-ordinates will be merged afterwards (Merging all polygon points with identical co-ordinates).

6.  Confirm with OK.

The desired surfaces in the network are aligned.
