parcels large enough for a 1,000 yard shot

[JustinBarnard]

I have been asked to create a list of parcels that are large enough to provide a 1,000 yard shooting range on. Parcels don't need to be any certain minimum size regarding overall area, rather within the parcel you could have a "line segment" 3,000 feet in length. I have some 30,000 parcels to consider.

Line of sight would eventually need to be considered but right now I would be happy with just knowing what parcels have the shape/area large enough for a 3,000-ft line segment within it.

You can exclude a lot of candidates by running Minimum Bounding Geometry (geometry type = RECTANGLE_BY_WIDTH). If neither MBG_Width nor MBG_Length are greater than 3000', it can't have a line of sight greater than 3000' (at least, I can't think of a situation where this could be true).

edit: it looks like you can use GME's Calculate Fetch in Polygons, however it may take a long time without excluding noncandidates as described above.

Dan Patterson's version of this tool may be better for you - it automatically calculates the length and width of the rectanges it generates (and there are no licence restrictions).

For rectangles produced by the out-of-the-box MBG tool, the length and width are automatically calculated (and there are no license restrictions).

Dan Patterson's version of this tool worked great! Thanks for the help!

Dan Patterson's version of the bounding tool worked like a charm.
