I'd like to to summarise the road lengths within the parish of Burford.

I'm logged into ArcGIS Online's Map Viewer and using the Summarize Within tool:

  1. Features to summarize: OS Open Roads Vector Map Data - SP RoadLink (Burford is within the SP Area)
  2. Summary areas: Parishes May 2023 Boundaries EW BFC - PAR MAY 2023 EW BFC (Covers England & Wales)
  3. Calculate statistics:
    Summarized geometry units - Miles
    Field statistics - length > Sum
  4. Environment settings:
    Processing extent - Full extent

Obviously, this gives me results for the entire SP area. The other Environment settings are also not what I want.

So, how do I clip the features within Burford to Burford's boundaries?

After 48 hours of trying and failing, any help greatly appreciated!

It looks as though the roads are downloadable here:

https://osdatahub.os.uk/data/downloads/open/OpenRoads

I'd download shapefiles, and then import them into your ArcGIS Pro project file geodatabase for processing.

The parishes are available here:

https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/aff8ad77-1e1b-44d1-9328-2452130db606/parishes-may-2023-boundaries-ew...

I'd use the zipped file geodatabase format option.

That is really useful to know, Bob. I'd never heard of ModelBuilder. For some while I'll be analysing parishes one by one and in random places as they join my scheme but in time the ability to assess en masse - affordably - will be most welcome. I now feel ready for the rush!
