Find Similar Linework tool settings



SettingDescription
Mode Determines how similar linework is handled.
  • Move — Moves all but the first similar element to the target level.
  • Delete — Erases all but the first similar element.
  • Merge — Erases all but the first similar element (like with the Delete option), except that any database and feature linkages from the deleted elements are moved to the first element.
Facetize Breaks the fence into a grid of cells. See Facetization for details.
Columns Sets the number of cells (in the grid) that the fence is cut in the X or horizontal direction.
Rows Sets the number of cells (in the grid) that the fence is cut in the Y or vertical direction.
Tolerance Defines the zone.
Percent Defines the zone overlap percentage for determining similar elements.
Flag Places an error flag around similar elements. Designate flags as review-only or write-to-file.




In the above Finding Similar Linework example, with Percent set to 60%, the set of lines on the top are not similar. The two lines on the bottom are similar because one zone overlaps the other by more that 60%. Similar elements may not necessarily be of the same element type.
