Remove duplicate features based on geometry

M

I would like to remove duplicate features based on geometry. It's a dynamic workbench where i query out all tables which intersect with a polygon.

 

The problem is that our database contains some duplicated features. For example 1 layer for the whole country, and 1 where it's only a small part of it. So i just want one of these.

 

I have tried to use this guide. But the problem is that the geometry is not 100% alike. So the CRCCalculator gives different values. The coordinates are more exact in one of them.

Any tip on how i could fix this?

 

Here is an example of how the difference is for the same point:

Min_max_extents

Have you looked at the matcher? That will let you find geometries that match and allows lenient matching and lets you set a tolerance which should handle the slight differences in precision.

You could try using the Dissolver transformer with the Group By option set to the country identifier.

Yeah i had tried it, but somehow managed to miss the "Vector Tolerance" field! Thanks! 😁
