Create Near Table to Vertices of Near Features #14

Open RichThomasUniti opened 6 years ago

RichThomasUniti commented 6 years ago

JJ, Do you know how to run the geoprocessing tool "Generate Near Table (Analysis) tool, or some other tool or custom ArcPy, to find the nearest vertices rather than nearest edges of the near features? The reason I ask, is that the multimodal network needs vertices on the roads where the ties from existing fiber connect, that I create using the Generate Near Table. The geoprocess of splitting the roads at each fiber tie takes a lot of processing. Also, if you know how to insert vertices in features, that might take less processing time than splitting the features.

I think I have a solution: Use Select by Location to select the road features within 100' of Structure points For only those selected road features, generate points at the features' vertices (Feature Vertices To Points tool) Generate Near Table from Structures to the points derived from road vertices The result of that last step is the lines that tie between the existing fiber network and the roads network. (I'll try it and let you know how it works.)
