convert raster to polygon (model builder - iterate)

rokcedilnik

I'm trying to convert multiple rasters to polygon and then vertices of those polygons convert to point and finally add XY coordinates. So my main tools for this process are:
- raster calculator (multiply raster with 0 to get just one band)
- raster to polygon
- feature vertices to points
- add xy coordinates

I'm trying to do this in model builder. If I use raster to polygon directly (without raster calculator), I get error that shp is bigger than 2GB. So far I manage to apply raster calculator which stores result in folder "raster_calculator". When I add raster to polygon I get error "ERROR 010157: Unable to open feature class..." (see picture "error.png").
I tried to use Calculate Value and Parse Path but I didn't succeed. Most likely because I don't know how to used them properly.

Can anyone please help me or give me an advice how to solve this in model builder.

P.S.: I know that in python this could be easier but I would like to do this in model builder because i don't understand python.

my first error is still present. Even if I choose output in raster to polygon tool to be gdb file, I still have shp and tif together. How can I produce a featureclass in model builder from raster?

the first error in your earlier thread was because the filename contained shp and tif together. The second is due to the fact that you didn't specify a field to do the conversion... albeit, it is optional, but some things are less optional than others... for instance, I don't see anywhere that you have checked to ensure that your rasters are integer rasters, since only they can be converted to vector form. Floating point rasters, cannot ... they lack a table, hence, no fields.

Thanks for quick reply. I'm trying to do what you said, but I'm not successful. Did you mean that instead of raster calculator tool I directly use raster to polygon and for output set gdb? If I do that i get an error (look picture). Can you attach a sample how should it look like in a model builder?

Firstly, I would try to produce a featureclass in a geodatabase rather than the shapefile, which is causing some problems, because you have a file with a *.tif.shp file extension which will confuse the best of software most of the time. The 2 Gb file size limit for shapefiles is fixed and a geodatabase featureclass is your only way around that... easily.
