I am kind of new to ArcGIS and I would appreciate some help. I need to create a network of footpaths joining multiple destinations and carry a cost / benefit analysis based on; landuse, slope and proximity to tourist attractions in order to identify suitable loops. The scenario is new footpaths within a natural state reserve)&nbsp;&nbsp; The sketch attached is a simplification of the real problem and does not take into account the real number of points&nbsp; (about 25) and the potential loops they can create (which I believe should rise up to 25!). In the sketch attached the result of the analysis should highlight which loop is preferable; 1-2-4-1 or 2-3-4-2.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have thought on carrying a cost distance analysis for each par of points and then carry a OD cost matrix. Is there a better way todo this?<IMG alt="Analysis.jpg" class="jive-image image-1" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/3320_Analysis.jpg" style="width: 620px; height: 802px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:07:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/spatial-analyst-to-assess-multiple-loops/m-p/165018#M2352 Juan_Poblete 2014-08-11T10:07:23Z Re: Spatial Analyst to assess multiple loops https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/spatial-analyst-to-assess-multiple-loops/m-p/165019#M2353 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>duplicate of: <A href="https://community.esri.com/thread/106464">Spatial Analyst to assess multiple loops</A>‌</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Aug 2014 03:16:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/spatial-analyst-to-assess-multiple-loops/m-p/165019#M2353 XanderBakker 2014-08-21T03:16:19Z
