Unnecessary Nodes

Disponible avec une licence Data Reviewer.

Summary

The Unnecessary Nodes check finds polyline features that share a node and have matching attribute values.

Overview

When polyline features contain pseudo nodes and identical attribution on editable fields, the shared node is often unnecessary. Pseudo nodes occur when the end node on a feature connects to another end node with no other nodes present. Features found with this check can be merged without a loss of information and may result in enhanced database performance.
