Create Turn Feature Class (Network Analyst Tools)
Summary
Creates a turn feature class to store turn features that model turning movements in a network dataset.
Usage
You can add a turn feature class as a turn sources to a network only if the network dataset supports turns. To add turns to a network that does not support turns, create a new network dataset that supports turns.
After creating the turn feature class, the turn features can be created using the commands to create linear features on the Editor toolbar.
Parameters
| Label | Explanation | Data type |
|---|---|---|
|
Output Location |
The file, workgroup, or enterprise geodatabase, or the folder where the output turn feature class will be created. The workspace must already exist. |
Workspace; Feature Dataset |
|
Output Turn Feature Class Name |
The name of the turn feature class the will be created. |
String |
|
Maximum Edges (Optional) |
The maximum number of edges that turns in the new turn feature class can model. The default value is 5. The maximum value is 50. |
Long |
|
Input Network Dataset (Optional) |
The network dataset in which the turn feature class will participate. The resulting turn feature class will be added as a turn source to the network dataset. If no network dataset is provided, the turn feature class will be created as not participating in a network dataset. |
Network Dataset Layer |
|
Template Feature Class (Optional) |
The feature class that will be used as a template to define the attribute schema of the new turn feature class. If the template feature class has the following fields, they will not be created in the output turn feature class: |
Feature Layer |
|
Spatial Reference (Optional) |
The spatial reference that will be applied to the output turn feature class. This parameter is ignored if the output location is a geodatabase feature dataset, as the output turn feature class will inherit the spatial reference of the feature dataset. |
Spatial Reference |
|
Configuration Keyword (Optional) |
The configuration keyword that will determine the storage parameters of the new turn feature class. This parameter is used only if the output location is a workgroup or enterprise geodatabase. |
String |
|
Output Spatial Grid 1 (Optional) |
This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored. |
Double |
|
Output Spatial Grid 2 (Optional) |
This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored. |
Double |
|
Output Spatial Grid 3 (Optional) |
This parameter is not supported. Any value provided will be ignored. |
Double |
|
Has Z (Optional) |
Specifies whether the coordinates in the turn feature class with have elevation (z) values.

Boolean |
