You can perform a fuzzy alignment for main node 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 main nodes active whose surfaces you want to fuzzy 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 main nodes are active.
2. In the Network editor window, click the Edit mode icon 
.
3. In the Network window, right-click the Main nodes button.
A shortcut menu opens.
4. Select the Fuzzy surface alignment entry.
The Fuzzy surface alignment window opens.
5. Make the desired changes.

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.
