This tool will clean a plan of unintended small gaps and overlaps. It does this by filling gaps smaller than 1m and cleans overlapping areas smaller than 5m² in a plan. The tool only analyses polygon/area features within a plan; not linear or point features.

To access the tool click on the three vertical dots next to your plan name and select Toolbox.

On the following screen select Small Gap & Overlap Cleaner. Please note this will only identify overlapping polygons/areas, not linear or point features.

On the box that appears confirm that you want to run the tool.

Then select Back to map.

If small gaps and overlaps are found back in the map a new plan named "Cleaned [Original Plan Name]" will be created.

The Cleaned plan will automatically resolve small gaps and overlaps and this plan can be used moving forward.

You will also receive an email notification with a link to view the results

If no small gaps or overlaps are found you will receive an email notification to confirm this.​
