Enhancement Toolset#

These tools are designed to automate key tasks involved in data creation and revision that improve the accuracy, consistency, and overall integrity of the data.

Add Topology#

This tool verifies that spatial data within a Geodatabase follow the rules and relationships required by the Standard by adding a topology dataset to the required feature dataset. It checks the geometric relationships among geographic features—such as roads, boundaries, and address points—to ensure that the data are clean, accurate, and logically consistent.

Topology Rules and Exceptions

Purpose#

By running the Topology Tool, users can:

  • Validate that all spatial data conform to NG911 topology standards.

  • Detect and correct spatial errors before submission.

  • Ensure statewide consistency and data integrity across all NG911 datasets.

Calculate/Convert/Fix Field(s)#

The Field Calculation and Conversion Tool automates the process of calculating, converting, and cleaning fields in the Standard NG911 feature classes. It ensures that address points, road centerlines, and related datasets comply with both Next Generation (Next-Gen) and, as applicable, Legacy data standards.

Usage#

  1. Select the NG911 geodatabase.

  2. Choose the desired analysis type (e.g., calculate, convert, or fix fields).

  3. Set any required and optional parameters.

  4. Run the tool to perform all necessary calculations or corrections automatically.

Available Analyses#

Calculate FullName and/or LgcyFulSt#

Calculates the FullName (if NEXT-GEN is selected) and LgcyFulSt (if LEGACY is selected) fields for ADDRESS_POINT and/or ROAD_CENTERLINE.

The Next-Gen street fields are used to compute FullName, and the Legacy street fields are used to compute LgcyFulSt.

Tip

If only one set of street fields are populated (i.e., either Next-Gen or Legacy street fields), consider first running ccf-convert-type and/or ccf-convert-direction.

Calculate FullAddr and/or LgcyFulAdd#

Calculates the FullAddr (if NEXT-GEN is selected) and LgcyFulAdd (if LEGACY is selected) fields for ADDRESS_POINT.

The Next-Gen street/address fields are used to compute FullAddr, and the Legacy street/address fields are used to compute LgcyFulAdd.

Tip

If only one set of street fields are populated (i.e., either Next-Gen or Legacy street fields), consider first running ccf-convert-type and/or ccf-convert-direction.

Calculate Parity_L and Parity_R#

Uses the address range fields to compute Parity_L and Parity_R in ROAD_CENTERLINE.

Calculate Null Values to N#

Automatically replaces null values in fields with the YESNO domain with N.

Calculate RCLMatch and RCLSide#

Links ADDRESS_POINT features to their corresponding ROAD_CENTERLINE features by performing the following operations:

  • Creating dataframes for both feature classes

  • Matching concatenated street field strings

  • Comparing address numbers, parity, and MSAG community fields

  • Assigning NGUID_RDCL to matching address point’s RCLMatch

If multiple matches occur, the tool labels them as TIES and returns all related IDs as a pipe-separated list. If there is no match, the attribute is set to NO MATCH.

Calculate MSAGComm#

In ADDRESS_POINT, sets null MSAGComm attributes to the value of City, or, if it is also null, to the value of County.

It does the same for ROAD_CENTERLINE, but with the left and right equivalent fields, as well as setting GeoMSAG_L and GeoMSAG_R to either N if the corresponding MSAG community field is null or Y if it is not null.

Convert Type (Legacy or NEXT GEN)#

In ADDRESS_POINT and ROAD_CENTERLINE, uses the values of PreType and StreetType to compute LgcyPreTyp and LgcyType, respectively, or vice-versa.

Convert Direction (Legacy or NEXT GEN)#

In ADDRESS_POINT and ROAD_CENTERLINE, uses the values of PreDir and SufDir to compute LgcyPreDir and LgcySufDir, respectively, or vice-versa.

Fix Leading/Trailing Spaces#

Removes unnecessary spaces from the beginning and end of text attributes.

Fix Domain Case#

Adjusts capitalization of attributes to match domain values. For example, if a PreDir attribute is North, this analysis would change the letter case to NORTH, as in DIRECTION.

Fix Level Fields#

Converts FromLevel and ToLevel fields from numeric to text format for consistency in ROAD_CENTERLINE data.
