Clean up your data before creating polygon topology; eliminate gaps, intersections, or overlaps between any of the linework in a polygon topology. In addition, eliminate zero length objects or areas with missing centroids.
To fix crossing objects
- Use drawing cleanup to break the crossing objects.
- Optionally, detect duplicate centroids, incomplete areas, and sliver polygons.
- Create the topology again.
You can ensure there are no missing centroids by selecting the Create Missing Centroids option on the Create Polygon Topology - Create New Centroids screen.
