Removing Sliver Polygons (Gaps in Polygons) Arcgis 10 (Arcinfo)

The document describes three methods for removing sliver polygons in ArcGIS. The first method uses the Explode Multi-part Feature and Elimination tools to separate multipart polygons and add slivers to neighboring polygons. The second method converts polygons to lines, removes short lines, and converts back to polygons. The third method avoids gaps during smoothing by converting polygons to lines, cleaning intersections, smoothing lines, and rebuilding polygons.

Removing Sliver Polygons ( Gaps in polygons ) ArcGIS 10 ( arcInfo)

1. After unioning the layers, the silver polygons were added as a single polygon.

2. Therefore I had to use the Explode Multi-part Feature tool from advanced editing toolbar, which
separated the polygon into multiple single polygons.

3. Then the Elimination tool was able to add the polygons to neighboring polygons easily.

Sliver polygon remove method 2

1. firstly, convert your polygon to lines (Feature to line);


2. calculate length of lines;
3. discard the "short" lines, i.e. lines whose length is less than a limit value;
4. then, convert the lines to polygon (Feature to polygon);
5. finally, erase the (four) holes manually.

Sliver Polygons remove method 3

Much better option is to avoid creating gaps and overlaps during the smoothing/generalizing.
1. Convert polygons to polylines
2. Clean polylines (create intersections, remove duplicates) Data Management
tools>>General>> Delete Identical.
3. Smooth cleaned polylines
4. Build Polygons
5. Transfer Attributes from the original dataset (you can use the label points of the polygons)
