Example of Use of Topology Rule Example of errors generated from the Polygons must not overlap with (#19) rule. Building footprints (in blue) must not overlap easements (in magenta). The violation areas are shown in yellow . The table shows the error report. User must make the decision whether these are: --accuracy issues with one or other layer (more likely the footprint layer) --thus fix through editing. --or violations where buildings have been built in easements --thus mark as “exceptions’ Source: ESRI Working with Geodatabase Topology p.9
