View the LRS hierarchy

Available with Location Referencing license.

A linear referencing system (LRS) dataset is a controller dataset in a feature dataset in the geodatabase along with all the feature classes that participate in the LRS.

You can view the hierarchy in an LRS dataset to determine which types of networks exist in the LRS and which events are associated with each network without leaving ArcGIS Pro.

View the LRS hierarchy from the Contents pane

Complete the following steps to view the LRS hierarchy from the Contents pane.

  1. In the ArcGIS Pro project, choose the map that includes the LRS feature layer.

    The Contents pane appears with the layers listed.

  2. In the Contents pane, click to choose a feature layer from the LRS dataset.

    You can choose any of the feature layers that are members of the LRS dataset (calibration point, centerline, event, intersection, network, or redline).

  3. Click the Location Referencing tab on the ArcGIS Pro ribbon.
  4. Click the LRS Hierarchy button LRS Hierarchy in the Tools group on the Location Referencing tab.
    Tip:

    If the button is not active, the feature layer you chose is not a member of the LRS dataset. Choose a valid feature layer in the Contents pane to make this button active.

    The LRS Hierarchy pane appears. The LRS (LRS_mod) is the root of the hierarchy.

    The LRS Schema node LRS Schema shows the minimum schema feature classes and the centerline sequence table, while the network nodes show the network, event, and intersection feature classes.

  5. Optionally, right-click an entity in the LRS hierarchy to view its properties or add it to a new or current map.

    You can access the properties for the calibration point, centerline, event, intersection, network, or redline feature classes, as well as properties for the centerline sequence table.

View the LRS hierarchy from the Catalog pane

The LRS dataset appears in the Catalog pane as the LRS folder in the geodatabase node. When expanded, all the members of the feature dataset appear.

  1. In the ArcGIS Pro project, open the Catalog pane.
  2. In the Catalog pane, expand the geodatabase node and expand the feature dataset.

    The LRS hierarchy appears in the LRS dataset using the name of the LRS (LRS_mod in this example). If an LRS dataset is not present in the LRS, the LRS hierarchy does not appear. Run the Modify LRS tool to update the LRS.

  3. Right-click any of the feature layers that are members of the LRS dataset and choose LRS Hierarchy.

    The LRS Hierarchy pane appears with the LRS name (LRS_mod in this example) as root.

    The LRS Schema node shows the minimum schema feature classes and the centerline sequence table, while the network nodes show the network, event, and intersection feature classes.

  4. Optionally, right-click an entity in the LRS hierarchy to view its properties or add it to a new or current map.

    You can access properties for the calibration point, centerline, event, intersection, network, or redline feature classes, as well as properties for the centerline sequence table.
