Lines

ff_type: ff_lines

FF line features represent linear features that may be either 2D or 3D. FF documentation often refers to these linear features as polygons. These features may have supplementary anchor, or text, points defined in their attributes. FF line features may have the following special attributes associated with them.

Attribute Name	Description
xyfel	The standard error in planimetry (X and Y) Range: Any real number
zfel	The standard error in height (Z) Range: Any real number
lagestat	The position status. The value must be one of the following: 0 = reliable position 1 = uncertain position 2 = planned position Range: Integer
ff_geo_area_status	This gives the position of the feature relative to a geographic area. The concept geographic area in a GdB has different meanings, depending on the type of operation to be carried out in the bank. It is a unit used for organizing data in the bank.
