To help troubleshoot this, can you provide a diagram of what you are trying to achieve?  Also, which version of ArcGIS are you using?  And are you using additional software (like  ESRI Aeronautical-solution?) or just ArcGIS? Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

Time does fly.  The Call for Papers already!  It seems like the last Conference was just a few months ago.... Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

Dan has some valid points.  To help troubleshoot this, can you provide some more detail on what you did?  You can upload screenshots if that is easiest.  You can also post your code, which would be of great help in troubleshooting.  To keep it formatted correctly, see this post: Posting Code blocks in the new GeoNet Chris Donohue, GISP ...

Yes, I've found with Network Analyst that when things come out not-as-expected, it almost always is an issue caused by either lack of connectiveness or a Network-specific attribute being set wrong. A quick way to check connectivity is to run another Service Area, but this time turn on the option to "Generate Lines".  Once you have the output, you can visually look at the linework and see gaps. As for finding and fixing connectivity, run Topology on the Linework.  Be sure to specify rules. Some Suggested rules: Must Not Overlap Must Not Intersect Must Not Have Dangles Must Not Self-Overlap Note that you will likely have to do many Exceptions, as there are valid occasions for some of these.  For example, some streets end as a cul-de-sac, so are valid yet will trigger a "Must Not Have Dangles" error. Topology Rules ArcGIS Desktop As for Network-Specific Attributes, review your attributes to be sure that they are appropriate.  Look for things like Oneway set in reverse of expected or a line segment being mis-set by a default attribute as non-traversable/prohibited. ArcGIS Help 10.1 Give that a try.  If you still run into trouble, post an image of what you got and a description of what you is going awry.  Be sure to specify what version of ArcGIS you are using, as there have been some changes in the last few versions. Good luck, Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

To clarify your question, which software are you using?  ArcGIS?  And which Version? If it is ArcGIS, instead of "Close" they have "Exit".  Exit will shut down ArcMap.  Is that what you mean by "Close", or do you mean another aspect of it?  If so, can you elaborate on your question? Here's an example from ArcGIS 10.2.1 Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

If you need to do this for purely cartographic reasons, you can make Representations ​of your points and then use this (setting it to "Random"): Disperse Markers (Cartography) ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

Question - will you be trying to use the data in some way beyond just iterating through them?  I ask as a .e00 is essentially a "zipped" form of a Coverage and not much can be done with it while it is in a .e00 state. If you do extract it to a coverage, if you are not aware of it, there are several radical limitations to be aware of, including how it is named and even limitations on all the folders in the path to where it is stored.  These limitations are from "back in the day" well before Windows came out, when computers had much more limited abilities. 21052 - Import an ArcInfo interchange file (E00) in ArcGIS Chris Donohue, GISP ...

Part of whether intermediate data is deleted or not is based on how the model is run. Data marked as intermediate data in a model is automatically deleted when the model is executed using its dialog box or when the model is executed from the Python window. Intermediate data will not be automatically deleted when the model is executed from the ModelBuilder window in order to maintain a model's has-been-run process state. Source:  ArcGIS Desktop So for starters, which way are you running your model? Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

If you have access to the Spatial Analyst Extension, you can use Focal Statistics (Spatial Analyst) to accomplish what you need: ArcGIS Desktop If you don't have access to the Spatial Analyst Extension and/or want to work entirely in the vector world, you could set up an iteration in either Modelbuilder or Python to loop through all the polygons.  First it would Select By Location the surrounding polygons.  Then it would Calculate Field the average of all the selected and write it to a field.  Note that the Calculate Field function will need to draw upon the number of selected records to correctly calculate the average, as this can vary (example:  corner polygon).

Thanks, that helps provide a better idea of what you are looking for.  My initial thought is that you could do a "moving window" analysis with the data as raster, as that is a common process.  However, that said, I haven't done one that way in a few years and have to scratch my head a bit to remember it.  I'll see if I can recall the process; meanwhile there are a whole slew of folks here on GeoNet who know this by heart.  Here's a few of them: Dan Patterson Darren Wiens Chris Donohue, GISP ...
