Merging GIS data
- [Instructor] Combining two GIS vector features together requires a process to adopt the attributes of the primary feature. For example, if you merge two addresses together, say, 10 and 12 Main Street, you can choose to take all the attributes from 10 Main Street as the primary data source for all those attributes. Let's try that now. So, in our drawing, let's attach the PARCEL_MERGE.sdf. We're going to merge these two parcels together. If we look at the data of the parcels, you can see that we have three Trent Lane, with a feature ID of two, and we have one Trent Lane, with a feature ID of three. We're going to make one Trent Lane the primary feature source. We're going to keep the feature ID of three, the ID will be the same, and the street number will be one. So, let's make sure we've got that set up. So, under the options inside of the data table, here, click on set split and merge rules. For the ID, it's defaulting to first selected, which is great, 'cause that's what we want…
