Additional Information

This is a known limitation when dealing with massively overlapping data and using tools that use the topology engine for processing . In this case, the polygon input is mostly made up of nearly identical polygons that overlap one another. In many places, there are nearly 1500 polygons overlapped. There are no resolution for these types of cases when using the topology engine except to reduce the amount of overlap in the input before running the tool. The Pairwise tools use a different underlying engine to perform overlay operations. Use the Pairwise tools instead of the standard overlay tools that use the topology engine. Note that the Pairwise Intersect tool output is different than that of the Intersect (Analysis) tool output. Modify the workflow when using the Pairwise Intersect tool.
