In fact, that there is an GPS error of 2m and some captured areas were little, the polygonlines sometimes crossed itself and as seen at this example in the attribute table, the area seems to be zero.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]18641[/ATTACH]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>gz</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>andreas</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:03:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400789#M22965 AndreasDaim 2012-10-23T14:03:05Z Re: negative shape area https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400790#M22966 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>If it were me, I'd do one of two things: (1)delete the offending polygon, or (2)merge it into the surrounding polygon, or (3) delete each of the vertices of the offending polygon...</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:43:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400790#M22966 JoeBorgione 2012-10-23T15:43:10Z Re: negative shape area https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400791#M22967 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>but I need the captured area of these polygons correctly, also if during capuring the polygon drawing line was crossed and therefore results in this bad area.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I could "repair" this polygons manually by reshaping the crossing over area, but in fact that there are many - much work.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>any kind of automatisation possible?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>king regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>andreas</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:31:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400791#M22967 AndreasDaim 2012-10-23T17:31:07Z Re: negative shape area https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400792#M22968 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote">but I need the captured area of these polygons correctly, also if during capuring the polygon drawing line was crossed and therefore results in this bad area.<BR /><BR />I could "repair" this polygons manually by reshaping the crossing over area, but in fact that there are many - much work.<BR />any kind of automatisation possible?<BR /><BR />king regards<BR />andreas</BLOCKQUOTE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>solved the problem manually with the "Check Geometry" Tool</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:14:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/negative-shape-area/m-p/400792#M22968 AndreasDaim 2012-10-25T14:14:55Z
