Key Features Include:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Detects Dangling Ends:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Scans drawing for endpoints of linework<\/strong> that do not connect to another object.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Useful for identifying gaps and misaligned connections<\/strong> in networks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Customizable Search Window:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Users define a search window size<\/strong> to specify the tolerance for detecting free-standing ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Temporary Layer for Visualization:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Marks all detected dangles using point objects<\/strong> in the GeoTools temporary layer (“GEOTOOLS_TEMP”)<\/strong>, allowing easy review and correction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Benefits:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
