Tom,
 
I think there is an easy solution to you problem.
 
1. Use the Combine objects using column that you find in the Table menu to combine all objects with the same geology code.
You should combine them into a new table.
 
2. Use the Disaggrate function that you find in the Objects menu, to disaggrate objects that are not connected.
 
That should do it.
 
I'm not quite sure whether MapInfo will disaggrate two objects parts that are connected by just a single node. But I guess you can test that.

Subject: [MI-L] Combine adjacent regions with same attributes

Hi All

 

I have a geology coverage with about 26,000 regions which I would like to simplify. There are about 6,000 instances of small slithers adjacent to larger regions with the same geology code that I would like to be able to combine.

 

In other words if there are two regions with the same geology code that share a common boundary (i.e. more that 1 node) I would like to be able to combine them.

 

Any suggestions

 

Thanks

Tom Orr
