Merging features
You now know how to split and reshape features, but not all edits will be limited to these. Sometimes, you need to combine two or more existing features. This might be done to simplify a layer for easier analysis or to reflect a change to the real-world features, such as someone buying two adjacent parcels to combine them into a single parcel.
In this recipe, you have found a road centerline, which is split into many unnecessary segments. This is causing issues when you’re trying to calculate the total length of each road. You need to merge these segments.
