Split by attribute in Model Builder

JonathanMori1

Hi,

I have been attempting this model but I am having a little trouble with one part. The model exports from a SQL Spatial Database using Data Interop Extension , and merges them into one feature class. The problem I am having is that it needs to be split into separate shapefiles based on the "layer" field. I did some research and found that "Iterate Field Values" would be able to do this, but I cannot get it to work right. I attached the toolbox and the Model that I am referring to is M4ExportModel_Points2. I was wondering if anyone could see what I'm missing or what I am doing wrong.

I'm assuming it just stops at the iterator. I just noticed the problem. After the iterator you need to insert Select by Attribute, and use the Value variable in your selection query, then you can connect that to copy features.

I am trying the copy features tool as you suggested and Iterate Feature Selections with a "group by" Layer

check the script in the Fox tools version...I would be curious to see if it is a re-write or mine in a shell

Thanks! I have a FoxTools version of this I have been using, but I will try out this one.

OK Here is the Iterator part I'm having issues with. It runs fine up until then

If you feel like splitting it up as a separate process see Split Layer By Attribute (for version 10.3, a toolbox can be generated for older versions if needed)

You didn't mention what happens when you run the model, but try replacing Feature Class to Feature Class with Copy Features.

OK, here is the section after the merge where I am trying to split by attributes. The Expression is ("Layer"=%Value%)

Can you just put in a screenshot of your model? It is much easier than downloading a zip, etc.
