Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated DatasetWhere a Sands edge (feature class polygon) have a similar shape to another natural feature such as a cliff, the relevant section of Sands edge will be made coincident with this other feature.
Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated DatasetWhere existing Sand Areas are overlapped by newly defined Forest Or Shrub, Rainforest or Plantation by definition the Sand Area feature no longer exists. Therefore the relevant portion of Sand Area must be removed from the NTDB, with any remaining portion being subject to size criteria.
