Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some ideas. I have 2 sets of neighborhoods from two different providers. Each set includes a polygon representing the neighborhood (many are irregular and sizes vary widely). What I'm trying to do is keep all neighborhoods from set 1 and only those from set 2 that do not overlap or overlap up to 10% of their total area. For those neighborhoods to include from set 2, I'd like to trim the overlapping sections so that they meet but do not intersect with their nearby neighborhoods.
I've got the selection logic down but where things seem to fall apart is when I try to trim. I use the Spatial Match tool to find all intersects. I then cut the overlap from the set 2 polygon using the Spatial Process tool. From there, I use the Summarize tool to combine all the trimmed set 2 polygons (for cases where a polygon intersected with more than one neighbor).
When all is done, I find that some of the polygons identified as overlapping are still overlapping even after the Spatial Process tool has completed. Not all of them, just a few. I'm not sure why. If I cut the intersection area, how can it still be overlapping? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason
