I need to work with parcel data that comes from multiple sources (private, gov, etc.). A lot of this is bad data where polygon boundaries overlap or do not snap together. I am finding it incredibly difficult to automate fixes for this using "validate" topology within a geodatabase or by using the "integrate" tool. "Align edge" just produces an error and is manual so not an ideal solution.
I included an example of parcels within a single feature class that are then added to a topology (within a feature dataset), and I highlighted the type of topology gap error I'm dealing with. The fix to "create feature" does not effectively close this gap to create a coincident edge. "Integrate" does not close or eliminate the gaps and instead reshapes the polygons.
Does anyone have a good process for this?
This seems like an incredibly basic and common task that is hard to figure out and automate. I have a Standard license.
