  10. Generalization • Data is collected and maintained in high detail • When drawn at a smaller scale: • it can be too detailed • symbols can conflict

  11. Generalization • Clarifies the display of feature geometry at smaller scales

  12. Generalization Tools

  13. Feature Generalization • Features assessed individually without regard to symbology or spatial relationships

  14. Find the tool and add to a model

  15. Contextual Generalization • Features from multiple layers assessed simultaneously • Maintain pattern, density, and spatial relationships
