Build Network

Reconstructs the network connectivity and attribute information of a network dataset. The network dataset must be rebuilt after edits are made to the attributes or the features of a participating source feature class. After the source features are edited, the tool establishes the network connectivity only in the areas that have been edited to speed up the build process; however, when the network attributes are edited, the entire extent of the network dataset is rebuilt. This may be a slow operation on a large network dataset.

1.    Input Network Dataset

The network dataset to be built.

Create Network Dataset from Template

Creates a new network dataset with the schema contained in the input template file (.xml). All the feature classes and input tables required for creating the network dataset must already exist before this tool is executed.

1.    Network Dataset Template

The template file (.xml) created by the Create Template From Network Dataset tool containing the schema of the output network dataset to be created.

2.    Output Feature Dataset

The feature dataset containing the feature classes that will take part in the network dataset being created. The network will be created in this dataset using the name specified in the network dataset template.

Create Template from Network Dataset

Creates a file containing the schema of an existing network dataset. This template file can then be used to create a new network dataset with the same schema.

1.    Network Dataset

The network dataset whose schema will be written to the output template file.

2.    Output Network Dataset Template

The output file (.xml) that will contain the schema of the input network dataset.

Dissolve Network

Learn more about how Dissolve Network works

Creates a network dataset that minimizes the number of line features required to correctly model the input network dataset. The more efficient output network dataset reduces the time required to solve analyses, draw results, and generate driving directions. This tool outputs a new network dataset and source feature classes; the input network dataset and its source features remain unchanged.

1.    Input Network Dataset

The network dataset to be dissolved.

The input network dataset must be a file or personal geodatabase network dataset with exactly one edge source. Any number of junction sources and turn sources is allowed. The edge source must have:

  1. End point connectivity policy
  2. An elevation policy of either None or Elevation Fields

The input network dataset must be built before it can be used in this tool.

2.    Output Geodatabase Workspace

The geodatabase workspace in which to create the dissolved network dataset. The workspace must be an ArcGIS 10 geodatabase or later, and it must be a different geodatabase than the one where the input network dataset resides.

Make Network Dataset Layer

Creates a network dataset layer from a network dataset.

A network dataset is opened each time the network dataset is used as input to a geoprocessing tool. Opening a network dataset is expensive, as they contain advanced data structures and tables that are read and cached. A network dataset layer, which opens the dataset only a single time, will perform better in subsequent tools than reusing the network dataset.

1.    Input Network Dataset

The network dataset from which to make the new layer.

2.    Output Layer

The name of the network dataset layer to be created.

The layer can be used as an input to any geoprocessing tool that accepts a network dataset layer as input.

The output layer created is temporary and will not persist after the session ends. To save the layer to the disk, run the Save To Layer File tool.

3.    Network Elements to Draw (optional)

The type of network elements to be drawn by the output layer. The available options depend on the network elements supported by the input network dataset. If the network dataset supports traffic, the default will be TRAFFIC; otherwise, it will be EDGES.

This parameter only enables or disables the types of network elements to draw with the network dataset layer. The enabled elements are drawn using default symbology. To draw the elements using a specific symbology, first define the symbology for the network elements using the Layer Properties dialog box in ArcMap, and save the network dataset layer as a layer file that can be subsequently used to import the symbology on new layers.

When an existing network dataset layer is specified as the input network dataset, this parameter inherits the network elements to draw from those that are defined on the input layer.
