Spartial Query Help

1.Identify the target layer(s) from which features will be selected and check them on [tick symbol]
2.Specify the boundary layer that will be used to select features from the target layer.
3. Choose the spatial relationship rule that will be used for selection

Types of supported spatial queries

The following spatial query methods are supported using Select by Location. In these descriptions, the Target layer is the layer in which features are selected. The Source layer is the layer whose features are used to determine the selection based on its spatial relationship to the target. In the diagrams, selected features are highlighted in cyan where they intersect, are contained within the red source features.

Intersect

Intersect returns any feature that either fully or partially overlaps the source feature(s). Here are some examples:
Finding features that intersect with point features

Finding features that intersect with point features

Finding features that intersect with point features

Width

To be selected, the geometry of the target feature must fall inside the geometry of the boundary layer. Selected features and source features can have overlapping boundaries.

Contain

To be selected, the geometry of the Boundary layer must fall inside the geometry of the target feature including its boundaries. For example, a polygon representing the RMC boundary contains the parks and gardens/Election boundary and is selected even though they share common boundaries along their borders.
This is the inverse of the operator "Are within."
