How to reverse an Intersect tool?

Question

I am building a model in ModelBuilder and need to select properties inside a boundary and properties outside a boundary.

The Select by Location tool is not giving me want I need so I have used the Intersect tool to pick up properties within a boundary.

What is the tool/how do I perform the reverse action of the Intersect tool so I can select properties outside of my boundary?

Thanks

Hi @Hayley ,

Have you tried the invert spatial relationship parameter on the Select By Location tool ?

The alternative is to use Erase after your Intersect on the original properties with the intersected data which will Erase the intersection from the original properties to create a new set - an inverse feature class
