Convert Python Script to Tool with Parameters

AndrewClark2

HI, 

I have a script that runs perfectly fine using variables for the inputs. As soon as I turn them to parameters, I am running into a "RUN TIME ERROR" with no details. I cannot for the life of me figure out the issue. Any suggestions? The 

Thanks!

hmm, how about changing the output location to just the GDB, possibly a mix of coordinate systems? What's with C:\Users\C:\Users\ for params 3 and 5?

Although you'd expect it to be the same as the input - and as you ay the tool does work a a standalone script.

I know you have the overwriteOutput set but still try making sure there's no locks/existing data etc. as part of the testing.
