I am new to arcmap and am despite some serious googling I am struggling to do the following: I have two files, one that is a feature class file of streets for an entire state, and the other, a file with "points" of where people live. I want to create a network buffer of 1000m that uses "point" as the origin point, and uses the street network to create a "real buffer" that reflects travel patterns. I tried to create a network file in arc catalogue from the file which failed. Plus in arcmap is says I don't access access rights for any network analysis tools. Any help with this task would be much appreciated, I am pulling my hair out!&nbsp; </SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:32:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-buffer-starting-with-a-residential/m-p/697936#M2474 ErikaMartino 2016-08-23T01:32:46Z Re: creating buffer starting with a residential address (x,y) and using a street network https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-buffer-starting-with-a-residential/m-p/697937#M2475 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You need the Network analyst extension...</P><P>&nbsp;<A class="link-titled" href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/network-analyst/what-is-network-analyst-.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/network-analyst/what-is-network-analyst-.htm">What is the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension?—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A>&nbsp;2nd picture is what you want.</P><P>If you have it, you have forgetten to go to the Customize, Extensions menu and toggle it on.</P><P>If you don't, have it... never mind</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:54:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-buffer-starting-with-a-residential/m-p/697937#M2475 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-08-23T01:54:09Z Re: creating buffer starting with a residential address (x,y) and using a street network https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-buffer-starting-with-a-residential/m-p/697938#M2476 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Dan,</P><P></P><P>Thanks for the quick response, I just enabled network analysis in arcmap.
