Create Overpass

Allows intersecting lines to be displayed as overpassing one another by creating bridge parapets and masks to cover the underlying road segment. 

1.  Input Above Features With Representations

The input line feature layer containing stroke representations that intersect—and will be symbolized as passing above—stroke representations in the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

2.  Input Below Features With Representations

The input line feature layer containing stroke representations that intersect—and will be symbolized as passing below—stroke representations in the Input Above Features With Representations parameter. These features will be masked by the polygons created in the Output Overpass Feature Class parameter.

3.  Margin Along

Sets the length of the mask polygons along the Input Above Features With Representations parameter by specifying the distance in page units that the mask should extend beyond the width of the stroke symbol of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter. The Margin Along parameter must be specified, and it must be greater than or equal to zero. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the margin; the default is points.

4.  Margin Across

Sets the width of the mask polygons across the Input Above Features With Representations parameter by specifying the distance in page units that the mask should extend beyond the width of the stroke symbol of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter. The Margin Across parameter must be specified, and it must be greater than or equal to zero. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the margin; the default is points.

5.  Output Overpass Feature Class

The output feature class that will be created to store polygons to mask the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

6.  Output Mask Relationship Class

The output relationship class that will be created to store links between overpass mask polygons and the lines of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

7.  Expression (optional)

An SQL expression used to select a subset of features in the Input Above Features With Representations parameter.

Use quotation marks, "MY_FIELD", or if you're querying personal geodatabases, enclose fields in square brackets: [MY_FIELD]

See SQL reference for query expressions used in ArcGIS for more information on SQL syntax.

8.  Output Decoration Feature Class (optional)

The output line feature class that will be created to store parapet features.

9.  Wing Type (optional)

Specifies the wing style of the parapet features.

  1. ANGLED—Specifies that the wing tick of the parapet will be angled between the Input Above Features parameter and the Input Below Features parameter. This is the default.
  2. PARALLEL—Specifies that the wing tick of the overpass wing will be parallel to the Input Below Features parameter.
  3. NONE—Specifies that no wing ticks will be created on the parapets.

10. Wing Tick Length (optional)

Sets the length of the parapet wings in page units. The length must be greater than or equal to zero; the default length is 1. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the length; the default is points. This parameter does not apply to the Wing Type of NONE.

Create Underpass

Allows intersecting lines to be displayed as underpassing one another by creating bridge parapets and masks to cover the underlying road segment. 

1.  Input Above Features With Representations

The input line feature layer containing stroke representations that intersect—and will be symbolized as passing above—stroke representations in the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

2.  Input Below Features With Representations

The input line feature layer containing stroke representations that intersect—and will be symbolized as passing below—stroke representations in the Input Above Features With Representations parameter. These features will be masked by the polygons created in the Output Overpass Feature Class parameter.

3.  Margin Along

Sets the length of the mask polygons along the Input Above Features With Representations parameter by specifying the distance in page units that the mask should extend beyond the width of the stroke symbol of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter. The Margin Along parameter must be specified, and it must be greater than or equal to zero. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the margin; the default is points.

4.  Margin Across

Sets the width of the mask polygons across the Input Above Features With Representations parameter by specifying the distance in page units that the mask should extend beyond the width of the stroke symbol of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter. The Margin Across parameter must be specified, and it must be greater than or equal to zero. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the margin; the default is points.

5.  Output Overpass Feature Class

The output feature class that will be created to store polygons to mask the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

6.  Output Mask Relationship Class

The output relationship class that will be created to store links between overpass mask polygons and the lines of the Input Below Features With Representations parameter.

7.  Expression (optional)

An SQL expression used to select a subset of features in the Input Above Features With Representations parameter.

Use quotation marks, "MY_FIELD", or if you're querying personal geodatabases, enclose fields in square brackets: [MY_FIELD]

8.  Output Decoration Feature Class (optional)

9.  Wing Type (optional)

Specifies the wing style of the parapet features.

  1. ANGLED—Specifies that the wing tick of the parapet will be angled between the Input Above Features parameter and the Input Below Features parameter. This is the default.
  2. PARALLEL—Specifies that the wing tick of the overpass wing will be parallel to the Input Below Features parameter.
  3. NONE—Specifies that no wing ticks will be created on the parapets.

10. Wing Tick Length (optional)

Sets the length of the parapet wings in page units. The length must be greater than or equal to zero; the default length is 1. Choose a page unit (points, millimeters, and so on) for the length; the default is points. This parameter does not apply to the Wing Type of NONE.
