Topology AddIn Guinea Pig wanted
Hey everybody,
On a monthly basis I create a bunch of topologys to make sure that my polygon layers don't overlap or have gaps (ESN). I also run a topology on my street layer to find street segments that aren't snapped. This process consists mostly of models.
Since I always try to help my Public safety brethren, I figured I compile my process in a Python AddIn, that "should be easy to use". I started a day ago and have the skeleton of the AddIn finished and now I am looking for a Guinea Pig (I am looking at you Chris Donohue, GISP & Joe Borgione ) to use it!
Latest Update:
- Created an official document: Topology Check Python AddIn (6/30/17)
- Added Error message when the wrong feature is chosen for certain Checks (i.e. polygon feature is chosen for dangle check)
- Now works with ArcGIS Desktop Standard
- Latest test version that includes a polygon break check. This check make sure that your line features are broken when they intersect with a polygon feature. Just select the line feature and polygon feature in the TOC and run the check.
Dropbox - TopoAddIn.esriaddin 10.3.1 + version
Here is what you need:
ArcGIS Desktop Standard 10.3.1 or later versions
Here is how it works:
1. You would download the add in HERE. (10.1 version HERE )
2. Double click it and install it.
3. Open an MXD and add a polygon layer and a street layer.
4.The toolbar should be there but if it is not click on Customize -> Toolbars -> TopoCheck
5. Follow the steps in the screenshot!
As I said it is still a work in progress, especially the street dangle check.
Let me know what you think!

That's cool Tim; just tried it. Before running the tool I created the dangle that was subsequently found. It's the only one in the YourDangleErrors point feature class:
This is great feature for me; I can run it just on streets that are newly added and get them fixed asap. Thanks!
ETA: here is a perfect example. Notice the M_DATE value (modified date) of the street that has the dangle...
Go ahead Heather and let me know how it went! I have created a document with the latest download here https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-9983-topology-check-python-addin This download also includes a readme file, which has pretty pictures and explanations
