| Jan 10, 2019 at 1:47 | comment | added | mshi311 | Hi - apologies for the confusing question, as I am new to ArcGIS and to the GIS stack exchange. From the answers, it looks like I was asking about lines of sight, as Felix's answer below illustrates what I was trying to do. My picture was a rough approximation of what I was trying to achieve. Should I take the photo down to avoid confusion? | |

| Jan 9, 2019 at 22:56 | comment | added | Hornbydd | Very interesting GIS problem but I totally agree with @RichardFairhurst, looking at your selections I can see several examples of selected polygons violating a nearest straight line distance which are not the nearest, why would they be selected? You need to tighten up your criteria on selecting polygons nearest to red line. | |

| Jan 9, 2019 at 20:32 | comment | added | Richard Fairhurst | This is a complex problem that can only be solved in multiple steps that test both lots that meet your criteria and lots that don't meet your criteria that fall within a buffer that is at least large enough to touch all candidate lots you want to consider. The other steps depend on the rules you define. The easiest rule would be unblocked lines of sight along tangents from the line, but your example violates that rule in several places. Your example is missing lots that can be seen from all angles. Your line of sight rules need to be defined precisely before a solution can be proposed. | |
