Summary
Removes geometry and/or property representation overrides from features participating in a feature class representation.
Usage
Features will not be deleted, just representation overrides.
The Remove Option parameter specifies which type of representation override will be removed.
- Removing geometry overrides reassociates a feature with the geometry stored in its Shape field. The alternate representation geometry will be deleted. Geometry overrides are sometimes called shape overrides.
- Removing property overrides removes all feature-specific property overrides and reverts the feature back to following the native representation rule.
Syntax
RemoveOverride(in_features, representation, {remove_option})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_features | The input feature layer containing at least one representation. | Feature Layer |
representation | The representation from which representation overrides will be removed. | String |
remove_option (Optional) | Specifies which types of overrides will be removed.
| String |
