Create LRS (Location Referencing Tools)

Summary

Creates an ArcGIS Location Referencing linear referencing system (LRS) and minimum schema items in a specified workspace.

Usage

  • The minimum schema items created are the centerline, centerline sequence, calibration point, and redline feature classes.

  • The names of the LRS, centerline, calibration point, redline, and centerline sequence must be unique and cannot already exist in the geodatabase.

  • The spatial reference, tolerance, and resolution inputs will be applied to all output feature classes.

  • If the input location is a feature dataset, the spatial reference, tolerance, and resolution of the feature dataset must match those of the inputs for the tool.

  • The x,y- and z-tolerance must be at least twice as large as the x,y- and z-resolution.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Location

The file or enterprise geodatabase where the LRS and minimum schema items will be created.

Workspace; Feature Dataset

LRS Name

The name of the output LRS.

String

Centerline Feature Class Name

The name of the output centerline feature class.

String

Calibration Point Feature Class Name

The name of the output calibration point feature class.

String

Redline Feature Class Name
