What are some best practices when geocoding intersections using an address locator?

The output of this tool has only one attribute, ORIGFID, which stores the Object ID of the input feature along which each transect line was generated. You can use this field to add additional attributes from the input features to the output transect lines by running the Add Join or Join Field tool.

We have designed a toolbar for advanced analyses of your InSAR results in an ArcGIS environment. The toolbar simplifies the process of visualizing data, applying a legend, creating maps (average velocity, cumulative displacement, etc.), displaying time series and analysing motion profiles using the cross-section tool. Title: Xacto Cross Section Tool: description: Create Geologic Cross Sections-eXacto Section, 10.x The objective of this program is to use GIS to draw important parts of the cross section precisely: the surface profile(s) (from raster), the geologic units and their contact points on the surface, the location of wells/boreholes, and the geologic materials found at the well location, projected.

Answer

This article provides some best practices related to geocoding intersections using an address locator in ArcMap. Included are some useful tips to ensure the best possible results are returned.
Include the street name in the input address and an intersection connector when geocoding intersections
The default behavior for searching intersections is to use the street addresses from two intersecting streets. The address locator considers the location as an intersection address if two street names are separated by an intersection connector, such as ampersand (&) or at sign (@). An example is 345 New York Street & Redlands Boulevard.
For more information on setting intersection connectors, refer to the following ArcGIS Web Help topic: About modifying an address locator's settings.
Use a locator that supports intersection matching
Not every locator supports intersection matching. Only the Single Range and Dual Range locator styles support matching street intersections. For more information on properties of an address locator, refer to the following ArcGIS Web Help topic: About the locator properties.
Ensure the 'Match with no zones' option is set to 'Yes' in Address Locator Properties
The 'Match with no zones' property determines whether the address is found or matched if a zone, which is either a city and state name or a ZIP Code, is not included in the input address in the Geocoding toolbar, Find tool, or batch geocoding.
• If the zone option is set to No, the geocoding process only takes place around a certain zone. The zone data is usually required for finding the best match.
• If the zone option is set to Yes, the geocoding process takes place in all zone areas, thus returning more results. Although, it takes a longer time to search for the intersections without zones.
To set the 'Match with no zones' option to Yes, follow these instructions:
1. In ArcCatalog or the Catalog window, expand the Catalog tree, right-click the address locator, and click Properties. This opens the Address Locator Properties dialog box.
2. Expand the 'Geocoding options' section.
3. Click the 'Match with no zones' drop-down arrow, and select Yes.
For more information on properties listed in the Geocoding options section, refer to the following ArcGIS Web Help topic: Geocoding options properties.
Use the Check Geometry and Repair Geometry tools before geocoding
Geometry errors can prevent a locator from matching intersections due to invalid connectivity of lines and vertices in the data.
For more information on checking and repairing geometry, refer to the following ArcGIS Web Help topics: Check Geometry and Repair Geometry.
If nothing is returned after searching for intersections, select the line segments that participate in the intersection and planarize the lines by using the Planarize Lines tool, found on the Advanced Editing toolbar. Run a rebuild on the existing address locator, or create a new one.

Quick Start Guide

The bulk of CrossView consists of two new windows that are added to your ArcMap environment. The first is a new table of contents (TOC) window that contains a list of your cross sections and their layers and allows you to change the properties of these items. The second is a new map window that is used to display the cross section that is currently activated in the CrossView TOC.

All cross section data is stored within the MXD and can be viewed and edited dynamically using the CrossView interface. If you choose to display data on your page layout, you can export a cross section to shapefile or geodatabase and add it to a new data frame on your ArcMap page layout.

CrossView Toolbar

Once CrossView has been installed and activated, it may be used from within the ArcMap application. To add the CrossView toolbar to ArcMap, click the Customize menu at the top of ArcMap and choose Toolbars>CrossView.

CrossView Toolbar Buttons

CrossView Table of Contents

This button toggles the CrossView table of contents dockable window. This window works much the same way as the normal table of contents window in ArcMap which displays your data frames and layers. The CrossView table of contents window displays your cross sections and each of the layers they contain.

Clicking on an item in the table of contents will display a list of that item's properties in lower half of the window. For example, clicking on a profile will display (and allow you to change) profile properties such as vertical exaggeration, base elevation, and name.

Right-clicking on an item in this window may bring up a context menu listing actions that can be performed on that item. Common actions include activating a profile (so that it displays in the profile window), deleting a layer, or exporting the profile to the MXD's page layout.

Profile Window

This button toggles the CrossView profile dockable window. This window works much the same way as the map window in ArcMap and will display the cross section that is currently activated in the table of contents window. A cross section can be activated by right-clicking on it in the table of contents and clicking Activate.

Create cross section

In order to use this button, you'll need to have one or more lines selected on your map that you want to use to create cross sections. When you click Create cross section, a separate cross section will be created for each of the selected lines. By default, each new cross section will have a vertical exaggeration of 1, a base elevation of 0, and will display each of the surface layers in the MXD (rasters and TINs) as both a solid and surface. Right-click on a profile in the TOC and choose Add Profile Layer... to add additional layers to a cross section.

Map Extent Links

This button displays a dialog that allows you to link the extent of an exported cross section to its corresponding plan map so that it can be easily used with Data Driven Pages.

Arcgis Cross Section Tool Set

Cross Section Layer Types

The following layer types are available for use in your cross section. The solids and surfaces layers are automatically added to each cross section and cannot be deleted (although their visibility can be changed). The other layer types can be added to a cross section by right-clicking on the profile in the CrossView TOC and clicking Add Profile Layer....

Solids

The solids layer is an automatically generated group layer that exists in every cross section by default. Each valid surface in the map (TINs, GRIDs, and other rasters) is automatically added to each cross section in CrossView and will automatically be removed if it is removed from the map. Layer visibility can be changed in the CrossView TOC and visible layers are shown as polygonal features. Drag the order of surfaces within the solids group layer in order to change their drawing order in the cross section.

Surfaces

Arcgis Pro Cross Section Tool

The surfaces layer is an automatically generated group layer that exists in every cross section by default. Each valid surface in the map (TINs, GRIDs, and other rasters) is automatically added to each cross section in CrossView and will automatically be removed if it is removed from the map. Layer visibility can be changed in the CrossView TOC and visible layers are shown as linear features. Drag the order of surfaces within the solids group layer in order to change their drawing order in the cross section.

Point to Point

A point to point layer allows you to display input point features as point features in your cross section (e.g. soil samples). When you create the layer, you'll give it a name and select an input point feature class from your map. After the point to point layer has been created, click on it in the CrossView TOC to display its properties in the grid in the lower half of the TOC. There you can set the search distance (how far from the cross section line to search for input points) and the method used to determine the vertical position your points will display on the cross section.

Point to Line

Arcgis Pro Tools

A point to line layer allows you to display input point features as linear features in your cross section (e.g. wells or utility poles). When you create the layer, you'll give it a name and select an input point feature class from your map. After the point to line layer has been created, click on it in the CrossView TOC to display its properties in the grid in the lower half of the TOC. There you can set the search distance (how far from the cross section line to search for input points) and the methods used to determine the top and bottom location of each line.

Arcgis Toolbox

Point to Polygon

Arcgis Cross Section Tool

A point to polygon layer allows you to display input point features as polygonal features in your cross section (e.g. wells or soil bores). When you create the layer, you'll give it a name and select an input point feature class from your map. After the point to polygon layer has been created, click on it in the CrossView TOC to display its properties in the grid in the lower half of the TOC. There you can set the search distance (how far from the cross section line to search for input points), the width of the polygons, and the methods used to determine the top and bottom location of each polygon.

Divided Surface

Cross-sectional Anatomy

A divided surface layer allows you to display an input surface layer intersected by an input polygon layer. A typical example would be intersecting an input DEM with a soils layer. When you create the layer, you'll give it a name and select an input polygon feature class and input surface layer from your map.
