Overlay Analysis dialog box - Set Output and Settings page
Use this page of the Overlay Analysis dialog box to specify the information
about the output layer, and to set tolerance levels for sliver polygons and the
evaluation of points. Overlay results use the split rules set in the
Split and
Merge Rules dialog box
(page 1669).
To perform an Overlay operation (page 1316)
Analyze tab ➤ Feature panel ➤ Feature Overlay
NOTE This functionality is for geospatial features only. To overlay drawing
topologies, see
Overlaying Two Topologies (page 1336).
The Set Output And Settings page of the Overlay Analysis dialog box includes
the following options:
Output
Specify the name and location of the SDF file that will contain the result
of the Overlay operation.
Layer Name
Specify the name of the Display Manager layer that contains the result of
the Overlay operation.
Sliver Tolerance
When the Overlay operation splits features to produce the output layer, it
eliminates polygons that are smaller than the specified tolerance settings.
Some such polygons were present in the sources, and some are produced by
the Overlay operation itself. The elimination of slivers affects the output layers
only.
Polygons whose areas are larger than the Maximum value become separate
features in the output layer.
Polygons whose areas are smaller than the Minimum (and have at least one
neighboring polygon) are considered slivers, and are merged with the
neighboring polygon that has the longest shared edge.
