Calculate Length (Meters) of Unprojected Line Feature in Model Builder

BenGrod

Any suggestion on how to calculate the length (meters) of a feature class (line) which is in GCS_WGS_1984. Calculating the Meters field based on Shape_Length results in the decimal degrees distance. I could project the feature class, calculate area, join back to the original feature, and calculate the meters but I was looking for something cleaner. Is there a way to define a projection temporarily within Model Builder then calculate area? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi Ben,

Take a look at the Add Geometry Attributes tool.

Alternatively, you could project the dataframe. And calculate geometry (length) using the projection system of the data frame in the attribute table.
