Updating an LRS intersection class

Note:

This functionality will be removed from the next ArcMap release and added to ArcGIS Pro.

You might need to update your LRS intersection feature class if you have created new routes, retired routes, realigned routes, or reassigned routes. The LRS intersection class also needs to be updated if the intersection layers, such as administrative boundaries, are edited. The updated layer portrays the latest intersection locations of the network and the intersecting layers.

Turn on Editor Tracking for the network and intersecting layers to update the intersections at only the locations where editing of the intersecting layers has taken place. This option may result in saving significant amount of processing time. For more information on the Editor Tracking tool, see Enable Editor Tracking.

Note:

An ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license is required to execute this tool.

Note:

The following types of intersection points are not updated using this tool:

• Points not part of the intersecting layers
• Points added manually to the LRS intersection class
• Points copied to the LRS intersection class
• Points merged or appended to the LRS intersection class

Note:

When intersections are updated, the following occurs:

• If an intersection that once existed no longer exists upon running this tool, that intersection is deleted.
• If the intersection location changed, the shape (point location) for the intersection is updated, maintaining the intersection ID.
• If a feature intersects a route in multiple locations and the intersection locations change, the original intersection ID closest to the new location determines where the intersection is moved to.

Use the following procedure to update intersections.

1. Right-click the LRS intersection feature class and click Update Intersections.

   

   The Regenerate Intersections dialog box appears.

   

2. Select Specific Date to update the intersections.

   The intersections update using the applicable edits until the selected date. This option is only available for datasets with Editor Tracking enabled. If Editor Tracking is not enabled in any of the datasets, the Regenerate Intersections dialog box does not appear and the intersections are updated for the complete dataset.

   Select All Dates for updating the valid intersections until the last edit in the intersecting layers.

3. Click OK.

   The intersections are updated.
