https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-all-overlapping-polygons/m-p/1481443#M83988 <P>Hello,<BR /><BR />I have a large layer with land polygons, there are some that are overlapping others, essentially what I would like is to remove all the overlapping ones so I have a flat layer that only shows 1 polygon per parcel, not multiple. You can see below, there are certain polygons that are only half the size of the ones below as well. Some touch others so I can't use the merge tool because it will create one large polygon. I just need to remove all the overlap, but that tool doesn't work as it removes the overlapping area, not the overlapping feature itself.<BR /><BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2024-05-30 113924.png" style="width: 538px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/105801i5FD04489A6563849/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2024-05-30 113924.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-05-30 113924.png" /></span></P> Thu, 30 May 2024 18:06:14 GMT IanLadd_Tourmaline 2024-05-30T18:06:14Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/remove-all-overlapping-polygons/m-p/1481443#M83988 <P>Hello,<BR /><BR />I have a large layer with land polygons, there are some that are overlapping others, essentially what I would like is to remove all the overlapping ones so I have a flat layer that only shows 1 polygon per parcel, not multiple.
