Attribute Rule that allows a Spatial Join on Line Ending ONLY

CHedger1227 — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 21:54:21 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for a very specific Attribute rule to be set up. I am not sure how this would be even set up. I am looking to create an Attribute Rule that will populate a GlobalID from one feature to another based on where the end of the line feature are snapped to one another. This is all taking place in the same feature class. Most of the lines are drawn in the same direction and I am looking to have it ONLY where the ENDS of the line are snapped to one another and then populate the linking GlobalID field on the other feature class. It has to be on the end only because the GlobalID's can only be in a certain direction.

Example

Start of line: O

End of Line: X

O--------Line-1--------X----Line-2-----------O----------Line-3---------X

I am looking for where Line 1 and Line 2 meet NOT line 2 and Line 3

If you need further information please say so.

Thank you in advanced.

Something like this?

// load the line fc var lines = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "NameOfLineFC", ["GlobalID"], true) // intersect with current line var intersecting_lines = Intersects($feature, lines) // we intersected $feature with itself, so we need to filter it out var f_gid = $feature.GlobalID intersecting_lines = Filter(intersecting_lines, "GlobalID <> @f_gid") // loop through all intersecting lines // return the GlobalID of the first line where the end point is the same as $feature's end point var feature_end = Geometry($feature).paths[0][-1] for(var line in intersecting_lines) { var line_end = Geometry(line).paths[0][-1] if(Intersects(feature_end, line_end)) { return line.GlobalID } } // if we land here, there is no line with intersecting end point return null

@JohannesLindner Can this be used to do a point to a line feature instead of a line feature to itself? would there be a big difference if I wanted to do this?

// load the point fc var points = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "NameOfPointFC", ["GlobalID"], true) // intersect with current line var intersecting_points = Intersects($feature, points) // loop through all intersecting points // return the GlobalID of the first point that lies on the $feature's end point var feature_end = Geometry($feature).paths[0][-1] for(var p in intersecting_points) { if(Intersects(feature_end, p)) { return p.GlobalID } } // if we land here, there is no point on the $feature's end point return null

@JohannesLindner

You are amazing thank you so much for taking the time to explain that to me
