I'm using Network Analyst to build a road network for finding haulage routes. Unfortunately the data I'm using was not designed for routing, so I'm having to manipulate it a fair bit to get what I want. One issue I'm yet to resolve is how to deal with turns at junctions that shouldn't exist. In the screenshot below, the junctions in the green circle are actually an overpass/underpass scenario. I know I can delete the vertices to stop a junction forming, but this is proving difficult to automate because in some instances the vertices are the start/end of lines and then a break forms in the lines. Instead, I'm sure there's a way to prevent a turn occurring at a junction but I can't for the life of me figure out how it all works. Do I need to create a Turn Feature Class? If so, can I just populate it with segments (like below) and somehow set that as restricted in the Network Properties? Is there another way? (I wanted to delete the junctions after they were created through a spatial selection but it's not editable).

@HuubZwart turns out it was the replicas. I disabled editing on one of the layers (in preparation of republishing it) and the size dropped to 21MB. There were over 133 copies of the data in offline mode. Didn't bother republishing it - just reenabled Sync. Thanks for the tip.

Also just found this (https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/227115/remove-polyline-vertex-outside-polygon-in-arcpy) from 5 years ago so will see if I can make it work. I've got a trial of XTools Pro which gives me the Line to Point option, so at least I have something to play with.

I've just found this post (https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/227268/delete-line-vertex-from-polyline-layer-using-point-feature-in-arcpy) that leads me to the Feature Vertices to Points tool, which might have been helpful in a larger convert, select, rebuild process, but I don't have access to an Advanced licence (only Standard).

Close! Yes, I'm not talking manually - that I have well and truly sorted. Trying to automate/script a faster solution for preidentified "issue" intersections. The Erase Point tool is almost what I need, except I want vertices on a line - not standalone point features.

Hi Brains Trust. I'm doing some cleanup work on a road network to make it suitable for Network Analysis, and have come across the following issue. One of the steps I have is usin the Integrate tool to align spatially different datasets. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is that lines passing across each other which normally don't intersect (as in no co-located vertices which Network Analyst uses to permit turns) now do. I've identified a lot of overpass/underpass areas which need to have these no-turn intersections cleaned, but can't find a way to bulk delete vertices when identified by an intersecting polygon. Any ideas out there on how to achieve this? Below screenshot shows where a route turns off a bridge instead of following along the off ramp.

There's a good chance that there are some offline copies (replica's?) of one of the datasets, though I still don't understand how it's such a large file when the other dataset I mentioned that it is based on is only 176MB and would also have just as many offline versions.

We've since discovered 2 other layers are doing the same thing, though one of them is even worse with a 7.1GB file size despite being an EMPTY simple point feature service. The other is 2.1GB though it does contain 5,464,106 points.

I have a feature service in ArcOnline. It's basic enough: it's basic polygon type data with only 3 attributes and no attachements and single symbol symology. The data is a dissolved version of a different feature service to use as a bookmark layer (i.e. search and zoom to a whole plantation instead of a single section of the plantation). The difference is though that the plantation data in it's original form is 176MB in size, whereas the dissolved Bookmark layer is 2261MB. Even after deleting all the features from the layer, it still registers as 2167MB. Why is it so? I export the data to a FGDB, download it and check the size on my PC and it's only 7MB?!?!? This has become a problem (not one we noticed before) because it's consuming a lot of credits.

Please please please give us the option to change the default view of Gallery content to List view at an organisational and/or user level. We have many items with similar names that you can't see when in Grid view and are always changing to List view. The Content window defaults to list view which is much more user friendly.

Thanks @KoryKramer for merging my idea with this one. I did do a search but obviously used the different words. I feel like this would be a "simple" (from a non-programmers pointless opinion) improvement that would make a big difference to a good number of people.

It would be good if the "Add many" option which appears in many geoprocessing tools when dealing with fields had the option to change how the fields are sorted. At present using a tool (i.e. the Join Field tool) and you go to Transfer Fields section, you can either select individual fields from the provided drop down window (which are sorted as per the attribute table), or you can select "Add many" and check the boxes to add multiple fields, or all fields in a quick, easy manner. In my current use case, I'd like to preserve the ordering of the fields but when I use the Add many option, the fields are sorted alphabetically. I understand this can make it easier to find fields in long lists, but it would be good to choose what order the selected fields appear.

I haven't tried either of those - but I definitely will give them a crack. I'm not expecting perfect results and that manual cleanup work will be required, but considering I'm working with a good portion of Western Australias roads, any reduction in data cleaning will save a good amount of time!

Small breakthrough. I exported a small area of the 2 datasets and Projected it into a Projected spatial reference and tried the Integrate tool again. It still didn't do anything, until I added in a tolerance of 15 metres and sure enough, the 2nd dataset moved to colocate features with verticies of the 1st. Will try again on the larger datasets once I've projected them as well.

Just tried the Pairwise Integrate and it rejected the inputs outright. Running the INtegrate tool in a new project and browsing to the data directly gave me the same results as above ("successful" but with warnings and no data changed).
