Create Turn Feature Class (Network Analyst)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates a new turn feature class to store turn features that model turning movements in a network dataset.

Usage

  • You can add a turn feature class as a turn sources to your network only if your network dataset supports turns. If you want to add turns to a network that does not support turns, you will have to create a new network dataset that supports turns.

  • After creating the turn feature class, the turn features can be created in ArcMap using the commands to create linear features on the Editor toolbar.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Output Location

The file, workgroup, or enterprise geodatabase, or the folder in which the output turn feature class will be created. The workspace must already exist.

Workspace;Feature Dataset
Output Turn Feature Class Name

The name of the turn feature class to be created.

String
Maximum Edges
(Optional)

The maximum number of edges that turns in the new turn feature class can model. The default value is 5. The maximum value is 50.

Long
Input Network Dataset
(Optional)

The network dataset in which the turn feature class will participate. The resulting turn feature class will be added as a turn source to the network dataset. If no network dataset is specified, the turn feature class will be created as not participating in a network dataset.

Network Dataset Layer
Template Feature Class
(Optional)

The feature class used as a template to define the attribute schema of the new turn feature class.

If the template feature class has the following fields, they are not created on the output turn feature class; NODE_, NODE#, JUNCTION, F_EDGE, T_EDGE, F-EDGE, T-EDGE, ARC1_, ARC2_, ARC1#, ARC2#, ARC1-ID, ARC2-ID, AZIMUTH, ANGLE.

Feature Layer
Spatial Reference
(Optional)

The spatial reference that will be applied to the output turn feature class. This parameter is ignored if the output location is a geodatabase feature dataset, as the output turn feature class will inherit the spatial reference of the feature dataset.

Spatial Reference
Configuration Keyword
(Optional)

Specifies the configuration keyword that determines the storage parameters of the new turn feature class. This parameter is used only if the output location is an workgroup or enterprise geodatabase

String
Output Spatial Grid 1
(Optional)

This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored.

Double
Output Spatial Grid 2
(Optional)

This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored.

Double
Output Spatial Grid 3
(Optional)

This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored.

Double
Has Z
(Optional)
  • Checked—The coordinates in the new turn feature class will have elevation (Z) values. This parameter is automatically checked and disabled if the input network dataset is specified and it supports connectivity based on z coordinate values of the network sources.
  • Unchecked—The coordinates in the new turn feature class will not have elevation (Z) values.
Boolean
