Find Dangles
Used to find elements with dangling, or overshooting endpoints. A dangle occurs when the endpoint of an element is not connected to another element. When creating area topology, linear elements with dangling endpoints can cause problems and should therefore be removed. Dangles can be created during the digitizing process as well as during segmentation.
To Find Dangles:
- Place a fence around the target linework.
- Select the Find Dangles tool.
- Select a Mode type.
- Set Tolerance and Flag settings as appropriate.
- Initiate the processing with a data point.
- Review the content of the Results dialog.
- The results can be saved or appended to a text file by selecting the appropriate option from the Results dialog File menu.
