Modifying the edge sequence of a turn feature

Available with Network Analyst license.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. Click the Catalog window button on the Standard toolbar.

   The dockable Catalog window opens.

3. Using the Catalog window, navigate to the location of the network dataset and drag it into the map display or the table of contents.

   The Adding Network Layer dialog box opens.

4. Click Yes to add the network dataset and all its source feature classes to the map.

Tip:

Make sure the network is built where the turn feature is to be modified. A turn feature cannot be modified at a location where edge elements do not exist. If necessary, rebuild the network.
