Most likely you have a bad spatial index on your street feature class. Is it a shape file or file geodatabase? So check the index, create it if it does not exist (especially for shapefile) or re-create the index.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Jay Sandhu</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 15:57:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/dissappointed-nbsp-location-allocation-solutions/m-p/185273#M1904 JaySandhu 2011-02-04T15:57:08Z Re: dissappointed: location allocation - solutions to slow loading demand points? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/dissappointed-nbsp-location-allocation-solutions/m-p/185274#M1905 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>solved :&nbsp; thank you for your input.&nbsp; indexing the street file resolved this issue.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 05:24:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/dissappointed-nbsp-location-allocation-solutions/m-p/185274#M1905 JustinHampton1 2011-02-05T05:24:08Z
