curve problems

MohamedIsmael

I have a problem when drawing polygons when creating a curve. Sometimes, at the end of the curve, the line isn't smooth. There's a break, like the one in the image.
If I have a lot of data, I want to discover all the problems that are similar to the image. Is there a way to use attribute rules or any other method that I can easily discover instead of visually reviewing the edges?

@MohamedIsmael Thanks for posting a sample image. I don't see a break - do you mean a gap when you zoom in close? Perhaps a digitizing error when constructing the polygon?

Data Reviewer has Unclosed Polygon that can identify such issues? You may find/develop a script to identify this as well.

I also don't see a gap. But I do see a kink, where the curve just isn't smooth. That's likely going to be much harder to locate. I don't personally know of any ways other than the good old "Mark I Eyeball" method, though someone here might have figured out a script to analyze the curves at all of the nodes of each polygon. I can't imagine it'd be too efficient a script to run, though...
