What is smooth polygon?

Each smoothed polygon may have more vertices than its source polygon. The Smoothing Tolerance parameter controls the length of a moving path used in calculating the new vertices. The shorter the length, the more detail that will be preserved and the longer the processing time.

Why are my elements overlapping?

Elements can overlap for a variety of reasons, for instance, relative positioning has nudged it over something else. Negative margin has pulled the element over another. Absolutely positioned elements overlap each other.
 

How do you know if a polygon is overlapping?

How do you fix overlapping intervals?

A simple approach is to start from the first interval and compare it with all other intervals for overlapping, if it overlaps with any other interval, then remove the other interval from the list and merge the other into the first interval.
