Now enter a facility location and then copy/paste it as well. Set the CF layer to solve for 2 closest. Solve. You will get 4 routes output. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can even have the same set of two facilities entered as Incidents (that is all 4 locations overlap). Solve and you will get 4 routes output but they will have 0 travel cost/length.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If this is not the scenario you are running into then perhaps you can provide some more details.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jay Sandhu</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:45:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/impossible-to-solve-if-points-overlap/m-p/654724#M6297 JaySandhu 2012-06-25T14:45:06Z Re: Impossible to solve if points overlap? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/impossible-to-solve-if-points-overlap/m-p/654725#M6298 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Im not sure Its possible or I may not understand everything.
