I'm looking at this chart with several boxes and i'm supposed to estimate the cheapest costs and paths. I've looked at the examples but can't get it to come out right. All I need is a little nudge in the right direction so I know what i'm doing.</P><P>Thanks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<IMG alt="Here are the boxes with all the numbers." class="image-1 j-img-centered jive-image" height="240" src="/legacyfs/online/509179_Bildschirmfoto 2020-10-04 um 18.16.11.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="290" /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 04 Oct 2020 16:20:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/how-do-i-calculate-cost-distance/m-p/732817#M10667 TobiasKrätzer 2020-10-04T16:20:37Z Re: How do I calculate cost distance? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/how-do-i-calculate-cost-distance/m-p/732818#M10668 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/how-the-cost-distance-tools-work.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/how-the-cost-distance-tools-work.htm">How cost distance tools work—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P><P>then the legacy toolset</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/understanding-cost-distance-analysis.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/understanding-cost-distance-analysis.htm">Understanding cost distance analysis—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P><P>then the actual tools</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/cost-distance.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/cost-distance.htm">Cost Distance (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 04 Oct 2020 18:03:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/how-do-i-calculate-cost-distance/m-p/732818#M10668 DanPatterson 2020-10-04T18:03:31Z Re: How do I calculate cost distance? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/how-do-i-calculate-cost-distance/m-p/732819#M10669 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you!
