Can I select Point features that are only connected to 3+ Lines?

Hi team,

Is there a way i can do a select by location thing where I can only select the point features that have 3 or more line features connected to it??

TIA

Hi Daniella,

I would do a spatial join of the points to the lines, which will give you a field called "Join_Count" that will tell you how many lines the point intersects with. Then you can just do a regular selection based on that attribute.

A quick clarification or two for both @GTueller and @DaniellaRose, because I can't remember and don't have a chance to test right this second:

Is the intent to find points that intersect with at least 3 line endpoints, or 3 lines anywhere along their length?
Spatial Join: Intersect will return the latter. Would any of the Match Options in Spatial Join return the former? Possibly "Boundary Touches"?
