Resolve Building Conflicts

Resolves symbol conflicts among buildings and with respect to linear barrier features by moving or hiding buildings.

1.  Input Building Layers

The input layers containing building features that may be in conflict, or smaller than allowable size. Buildings can be either points or polygons. Buildings will be modified to resolve conflicts with other buildings and with barrier features.

2.  Hierarchy Field (optional)

The field that contains hierarchical ranking of feature importance, where 1 is very important and larger integers reflect decreasing importance. A value of 0 (zero) forces the building to retain visibility, although it may be moved somewhat to resolve conflicts. If this parameter is not used, feature importance will be assessed by the tool based on perimeter length and proximity to barrier features.

3.  Invisibility Field

The field that stores the invisibility values that can be used to remove some buildings from display in order to resolve symbol conflicts. Buildings with a value of 1 should be removed from display; those with a value of zero should remain. Use a definition query on the layer to display visible buildings only. No features are deleted.

4.  Input Barrier Layers

The layers containing the linear or polygon features that are conflict barriers for input building features. Buildings will be modified to resolve conflicts between buildings and barriers. Orient value is Boolean, specifying whether buildings should be oriented to the barrier layer.

Gap specifies the distance that buildings should move toward or away from the barrier layer. A unit must be entered with the value.

1. A gap value of 0 (zero) will snap buildings directly to the edge of barrier line or outline symbology.
2. A null (unspecified) gap value will mean that buildings will not be moved toward or away from barrier lines or outlines except for movement required by conflict resolution.

If no unit is entered with the gap value (that is, 10 instead of 10 meters), the linear unit from the input feature's coordinate system will be used.

5.  Building Gap

The minimum allowable distance between symbolized buildings at scale. Buildings that are closer together will be displaced or hidden to enforce this distance. The minimum allowable distance is set relative to the reference scale (that is, 15 meters at 1:50,000 scale). The value is 0 if reference scale is not set.

6.  Minimum Allowable Building Size

The minimum allowable size of the shortest side of a rotated best-fit bounding box around the symbolized building feature drawn at the reference scale. Buildings with a bounding box side smaller than this value will be enlarged to meet it. Resizing may happen nonproportionally, resulting in a change to building morphology.

Resolve Road Conflicts

Resolves graphic conflicts among symbolized road features by adjusting portions of line segments.

This tool does not produce output layers but instead alters the source feature classes of the input layers. If the input layers are drawn with a representation (with editing behavior set to store shape overrides), the modified features are stored as shape overrides in the representation. If the layer is not drawn with a representation, the geometry of the input features is modified. Using representations is recommended when working with the conflict resolution tools. That way, if the results are not acceptable, or to rerun the tool with different parameters, simply remove the overrides using the Remove Override tool. It is strongly suggested that you make a copy of your input features if you are not using representations with editing behavior set to store shape overrides.

A warning is raised if the input features are not in a projected coordinate system. This tool relies on linear distance units, which will create unexpected results in an unprojected coordinate system. It is strongly suggested that you run this tool on data in a projected coordinate system to ensure valid results. An error is raised and the tool will not process if the coordinate system is missing or unknown.

1.  Input Road Layers

The input feature layers containing symbolized road features that may be in conflict.

2.  Hierarchy Field

The field that contains hierarchical ranking of feature importance, where 1 is very important and larger integers reflect decreasing importance. A value of 0 (zero) locks the feature to ensure that it is not moved. The hierarchy field must be present and named the same for all input feature classes.

3.  Output Displacement Feature Class (optional)

The output polygon features containing the degree and direction of road displacement, to be used by the Propagate Displacement tool to preserve spatial relationships.
