I have a network of sidewalk lines and multiple points of community centers. I want to select all those sidewalk lines that are within a certain distance along the network from all of the points. Select both entire lines and clip the lines at the specified distance.
Select network lines that are within a certain distance along the network from multiple points
Use a Bufferer around the points and use a Clipper to get the results.
That is distance as the crow flies, but I need distance along the lines.
Ah, then the next link can help: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/698/working-with-networks-topology-and-networktransfor.html
I was wondering if there was a method to do what I need to do.
I see this page expands on the idea (specifically Takashi's reply). I don't have time to experiment with it right now. I hope to let you know by month's end.
And what if you use the method of @stalknecht upfront to limit the number of network lines and you will do your analysis afterwards?
Another option would be to use a Bufferer and a SpatialFilter to find the usable network lines. In any case, the distance along the lines will fall within the distance the crow flies, since along a line is always longer than a straight line.
