I have a large set of parcel polygons, and I am trying to measure the part of each parcel that faces the street. To start, I tried to convert the polygons to line features, using the Feature to Line tool. Each segment retained the attributes of the parent polygon.
The challenge now is that when I run a Select by Location, and choosing the following:
Input features: Parcel Lines/Relationship: within a distance/Selecting Features: centerline/ Search distance: 20 US Survey Feet
----my selection captures not just the parcel lines that are parallel to the street centerline, but also the segments that are next to another parcel line that does not face the street. I could not find another set of rules that could refine the selection further to filter just the segments whose length facing the centerline is >0 feet. Is this even do-able? I'd think that would be a common question, but so far, I haven't seen it.
