Hi to All,

I have lines leading into different points (like shown in the image below). How would you show which lines are leading into with point? I have read about network structures. I am not sure if I need to built one and how I would do that. Maybe there is a way without.

Thanks for your help. I very appreciate your ideas. Doreen

Doreen,

Have a look at this thread - I believe this may help:

qgis - How to find dead-ends in road network using ArcGIS for Desktop or GRASS? - Geographic Informa...

Alternatively, run the "Feature Vertices to Points" Tool (Located in Data Management Tools --> Features) and select "Dangle" as the point type. You can then use "Select by location" to pick up all lines that touch those dangle points.

Voila, all dead-end streets are selected.

Do you mean for analysis? Or do you mean for symbology?  for the latter, you can chose line styles with arrow heads which show direction, You might have to alter the symbols to account for the direction of the arrow and the direction of digitizing.  For analysis...you have the basics of a network dataset...what do you want to do with it?
