I have a tree canopy coverage layer where tree canopies are overlaid. The layer contains around 5,000,000 entities and I need... :
1) remove the overlapping area of the entities (I've tried with the space and overlap cleaner but it takes too long, I have 32gb RAM)
2) merge all entities into one, and for display performance reasons, the resulting layer must be cut on a 1 km or 500 m grid.
In attached an exemple of the layer
Any idea how to proceed? Thanks to all
