Network Attribute Parameter

Summary

Provides information about attribute parameters associated with the network analysis layer.

Discussion

The attributeName, parameterName, and parameterValue properties for the attribute parameter object are dynamic. This means that the total number of properties supported by a given attribute parameter object depends on the parameterCount property. For example, if the value of the parameterCount property is 2, then the attribute parameter object will support attributeName0, attributeName1, parameterName0, parameterName1, parameterValue0, and parameterValue1 properties.

Properties

Property	Explanation	Data Type
attributeNameX (Read Only)	The name of a network attribute for which the parameter is defined.	String
parameterNameX (Read Only)	The name of the parameter.	String
parameterValueX (Read Only)	The value for the parameter as specified in the network analysis layer. This parameter value is used during the solve operation. The data type of the parameter value matches the data type of the attribute parameter as defined in the network dataset. For restriction usage parameters, the value returned will be a numerical value corresponding to the standard restriction usage options: Prohibited: -1 Avoid (high): 5 Avoid: 2 Avoid (low): 1.3 Prefer (low): 0.8 Prefer: 0.5 Prefer (high): 0.2	Object
