@AyanPalit, there was a slight misunderstanding. My apologies for that.
The red and blue lines are outputs not input.
So, I just have two points: the original point of interest and the that point's representation along the route. So, for visualization, how can I color the route say 10km in both directions?
Further, could you please explain, the fields MEAS and Distance, in the output generated by the Tool Locate Features Along the Route.
Even further, if I may, would you be so kind to point me in the right direction for how to edit routes. First, I would like to shorten it, i.e. delete some of the polylines in either end.
