Topology Model • Based on the Oracle 10 g topology model • Two Topology modes: − Session topology, built on-the-fly as needed − Persistent topology, topological primitives are created only once • Primitives (nodes, edges, faces) are store in the DGN • Each primitive can be associated with one or more features • Both modes are supported with or without Oracle • Shared editing is easier • Analysis uses high performance topological algorithms • Features involved in topology and split/merge rules are defined in the Geospatial Administrator
Topology Maintenance • Place features like any other XFM features • Topology graph is maintained while editing • Use shared editing commands to move common primitives, e. g. moving a lot corner moves all the parcels with it • Split/Merge polygon command • Line Cleaning tools − Find dangles, gaps, duplicates − From “spaghetti” Line Work » Shapefile » DGN » DWG » Oracle Geometry » other

Data Cleanup and Integrity Tools • Solve integrity problems with imported or legacy data − Interactively cleanup data to establish spatial and topological integrity − Find and repair dangles, gaps, slivers, overshoots, join and segment lines, reduce points − Use handy editing tools to resolve data problems − Use warping tools to fit data to existing control • Easily adopt imported or legacy data through Dynamic Feature Scoring (DFS) − Existing features (Micro. Station, Geo. Graphics, other) are recognized and operated on consistently via DFS rules − Editing or reset of the feature causes PBS and PBA rules to be run − Attributes can be easily added by editing
