I would like to remove the overlapping areas based on a comparison of the overlapping attribute fields. In this example, keep only the area with the most recent year. I know I can do this by setting a topology rule and editing each overlap individually, but I'm trying to wrap my head around a faster way using the overlay toolset. Thanks for any help!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 20:35:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-overlapping-areas-based-on-an-attribute/m-p/294417#M12790 HaileyWright1 2020-09-08T20:35:34Z Re: Remove overlapping areas based on an attribute field https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-overlapping-areas-based-on-an-attribute/m-p/294418#M12791 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Hailey,</P><P></P><P>Overlay tools (Union, Intersect etc.) can be run with a single input to find self-overlaps, which may very well help out with what you're trying to do!&nbsp;</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/how-intersect-analysis-works.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/how-intersect-analysis-works.htm">How Intersect works—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/how-union-analysis-works.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/how-union-analysis-works.htm">How Union works—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P><P>I imagine in this case you would want to use Intersect!
