Clip

Description

Clip is used when new parcels overlay and split existing, parent parcels to create remainder parcels. The areas of the parent parcels that are covered by the new parcels are removed or clipped and retired as historic. The areas that are remaining are the remainder parcels.

When clipping parcels without referencing a record, parcel history will not be tracked and parcels won't be associated to the records that created or retired them. When clipping parcels that are a different parcel type, parcel history will not be tracked.

Request parameters

Parameter

Details

gdbVersion

Parameter specifying the name of the geodatabase version (the default is the DEFAULT version).

Syntax

gdbVersion=<version>
sessionId

Parameter representing the token (guid) used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the session ID is required. If the specified version is currently locked by any other session, the request will fail if the session ID is not provided or does not match the session ID that holds the exclusive lock. If the client is editing the default version, the session ID is not required.

Syntax

sessionId=<guid>
parentParcels

(Required)

Parameter list representing the parent parcels that will be clipped.

Syntax

parentParcels=[{"id":"<parcelguid>","layerId":"<layerID>"}, {...}]

record

Parameter representing the unique identifier (guid) of the record being used for the clip. If missing, the edited parcels are not associated to any record and parcel lineage is not tracked.

Syntax

record=<guid>
clippingParcels

(Required)

Parameter list representing the parcels that will overlay and clip the parent parcels. If the clippingParcels are not the same parcel type as the parentParcels, parcel history will not be tracked.

Use either the clippingParcels or clippingGeometry parameters to perform the clip. One of these parameters is required.

Syntax

clippingParcels=[{"id":"<parcelguid>","layerId":"<layerID>"},{...}]
clippingGeometry

Parameter list representing the geometries that will overlay and clip the parent parcels. Use this parameter list as an alternative input to the clippingParcels parameter. If the clippingParcels parameter is populated, this parameter is not required.

Syntax

clippingGeometry={<geometry>,<spatialreference>}

Example:

clippingGeometry={
"hasZ":true,
"rings":[[[156141.236872494221,173508.911657653749,0],[156001.237480577081,173508.576356485486,0],[156001.149554245174,173528.576316490769,0],[156141.148946162313,173528.911289572716,0],[156141.236872494221,173508.911657653749,0]]],

}

clipOption

(Required)

Parameter representing the type of clip to perform:

  • PreserveArea—Preserve the areas that intersect and discard the remainder areas.
  • DiscardArea—Discard the areas that intersect and preserve the remainder areas.
  • PreserveBothAreasSplit—Preserve both the intersecting and remainder areas.

Syntax

clipOption=<string>
defaultAreaUnit

(Required)

Parameter representing the default area units to be used when calculating the stated areas of the clipped parcels. The stated area of the clipped parcels will be calculated if the stated areas exist on the parent parcels being clipped.

Syntax

defaultAreaUnit=<area unit code>
f

Representing the output format of the response. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json

Example usage

This example shows the steps for clipping parcels using the clip operation.

NoteNote:
The sessionId parameters must be the same for starting the edit session, performing the edit operation and stopping the edit session.

Steps:
  1. Start a service session on the version.

    Request URL and parameters:

    https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/VersionManagementServer/versions/E4DAED9D-C859-489B-9053-767A45F1D97C/startReading
    f=json
    sessionId={3773a35a-ed21-4e80-a5b1-c086c229623d}
    

  2. Start an edit session on the version.

    Request URL and parameters:

    https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/VersionManagementServer/versions/E4DAED9D-C859-489B-9053-767A45F1D97C/startEditing
    f=json
    sessionId={3773a35a-ed21-4e80-a5b1-c086c229623d}
    

  3. Clip two parcels using a single parcel that overlays the parcels. Create remainder parcels.

    Request URL and parameters:

    https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/ParcelFabricServer/clip
    f=json
    gdbVersion=admin.Version1
    sessionId={3773a35a-ed21-4e80-a5b1-c086c229623d}
    parentParcels=[{"id":"{A845C600-1979-48C1-B664-56C483B6575A}","layerId":"13"},{"id":"{64AD04A0-29AD-445D-A808-33CEB68C4A22}","layerId":"13"}]
    record={988F2526-D5A0-473E-BD90-363E6E345524}
    clippingParcels=[{"id":"{9C375767-8DCA-49D5-A3FF-D214612B3775}","layerId":"13"}]
    clipOption=DiscardArea
    desfaultAreaUnit=109405
    
  4. If edits are complete, stop the edit session.
  5. Stop and release the service session.
