Delete a parcel fabric point?

[RyanKelso]

I checked my parcel fabric for errors and it found a point error called "Point does not belong to a valid parcel or control point".  The point is symbolized like a boundary point but I suspect it is a remnant center point.  It is not related to any other feature.

I can't find any way to delete the point.  Standard editing tools don't work.  Selecting it with the Select Parcel Features tool and clicking delete will delete the parcel that it is floating on top of, but not the point itself.  Any ideas?

Also, is there a reason why you can't see features that are related to fabric points when the Local Government Information Model is enabled, but you can when the information model isn't enabled?  It doesn't even appear that there is a relationship class between points and lines or control.

Hi Ryan,

There is this Add-in that gives some extended abilities to help you remove inconsistent records such as these.

It includes a tool that lets you drag a box around the orphan points to delete them, and a utility accessed via the fabric context menu, that reports and optionally removes inconsistent records for the whole fabric.

See also this thread about orphan points.

Regarding your question about LGIM not showing features: you may need to calculate the Type for the particular parcel layer. For example, the Tax Parcels layer has the following definition query: (SystemEndDate IS NULL) AND ("Type" = 7)

To make them appear, drag a new instance of the fabric's parcel class onto the map from the catalog window, start editing, and select the parcels that are to become tax parcels. Use the field calculator and assign the Type = 7 on the selection, then save your edits.

You can then remove the extra instance of the layer you added, and those Tax parcels should now appear in LGIM fabric.

Another approach would be to temporarily remove the definition query on the Tax parcels layer, make the same edit, and then set the definition query on the layer back to (SystemEndDate IS NULL) AND ("Type" = 7)

Thanks Tim!  That add-in is exactly what I was looking for, without knowing what to look for.  Worked perfectly to remove the point.

I really poorly worded my second question, and ended up figuring out the answer.  With the LGIM disabled, by default there are relates on the lines layer between it and the points layer based on the ToPointID and FromPointID fields.  With the LGIM enabled, these relates aren't established.  It's handy if you want to identify a curve center point and, through the relate, see which curve/parcel it belongs to.
