polygon to raster

Joseph_FlavianGomes

I am trying to convert a polygon shape file to raster. It works fine as long as I choose the cell size as 1 or more. However, I need to work with a different raster grid and thus need to have a cell size smaller than 1. Unfortunately as soon as I choose a cell size smaller than 1 the tool does not work and I get an error. What could be causing this?

Has anybody found a solution to this error?

I'm trying to convert a large polygon dataset, 90,000+ polygons with elevation values, into a raster so I can add create a "pseudo-digital surface model" along with a DEM.

When I try to execute the "Polygon to Raster" process, I receive:

Messages
Executing: PolygonToRaster "Database Connections\sdename.sde\name.Structures\name.Buildings_elev_corrected" ELEVATION C:\Projects\county\dem\dem_blg_rev CELL_CENTER NONE 2

ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Failed to execute (PolygonToRaster).

The connection string has been renamed for obvious reasons.

Is the polygon dataset too large for the process? I tried "Feature to Raster", too, but still I receive an error.

thanks a lot for the update. Bust does this mean there is nothing I can do about it?

here is the error

Bug NIM-063257
PolygonToRaster - output cellsize and extent values do not have decimal values in comma locale when input cell size has decimals (only with grid output and only reproduciable in 10).

I was retrying to convert from polygon to raster (same thing happens when I use features to raster), I get the above mentioned error but when i actually check the directory the raster file actually gets created. I dont see why this should happen.

sorry, but the above link doesnt work. It keeps asking me to log in.

Could it be associated with this bug?

The error is just a generic error as follows:
Start Time: Sun Jan 15 23:20:10 2012
ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Failed to execute (Polygon to Raster).
Failed at Sun Jan 15 23:20:10 2012 (Elapsed Time: 0,00 seconds)

There is no space in the folder path. I am not sure what the extent is.

What is the error?
What is the extent of the raster?
Are you trying to create the raster in a folder path that contains a space?
