I have a large polygon shapefile that represents streets and a large point shapefile that represents intersections. Is there a way to split the polygon shapefile at each intersection point? [ATTACH=CONFIG]29493[/ATTACH]
You need to use the voids between the roads as your polygons. If you don't have that, create it using the "erase" tool under "overlay". Create a polygon surrounding your roads, erase the road spaces, then explode the resultant polygon to create the voids.
Need a "new" polygon shapefile that has intersection to intersection polygons. No need to name the polygons, though would be nice.. I will be using these individual polygons to calculate square feet and items contained within each polygon for assest management.
I have tried the buffer option by doesn't seem to work because of the intersections are not consistant in size or configuration, some our 2 leg, 3 leg, 4 leg, and 5 leg intersections.
That's the messy part. I think you're in for a lot of manual work here either way, unless you have a convenient road segment polyline file with width data included.
Someone in our organization has done this before but now I am tasked with reproducing an update and unable contact the person who originally completed the task. See the attached. somehow it looks as if lines where placed at the points on intersections and then processed.[ATTACH=CONFIG]29499[/ATTACH]
