Ok, thanks, Should I just start another thread in hopes of getting some ArcMap help? -Mark ... View more

Dan, Thanks for following up. I am working in ArcMap 10.7.1 as I do not have ArcPro. I am specifying the same folder location for the Output back direction raster as for the other raster (output distance and output direction). I am aware of the raster naming convention and keeping the name short enough. Nothing is going into a .gdb nor do any files originate from a .gdb I just tried adding the .tif extension to that raster output and that also does not work. If I run Euclidean Back Direction as a separate process, to perhaps isolate the problem, then I get an error 000816. Here are the details on ERROR 000816: Do these extra details provide any clues? Thanks, Mark ... View more

Thanks Dan! Yes, it appears to be just a 2 step process in ArcMap 10.7.1, the same as in ArcPro. Step 1 ArcPro: Step 1 in ArcMap: ArcMap is producing the "Output distance raster" and "Output direction raster" but not producing the "Output back direction raster" which is needed for Step 2: the Coast Path As Polyline step. Please see below. How do I get the "Output back direction raster"? -Mark ... View more

Thanks for the Reply! According to this posting: Doing more with Euclidean Distance: Barriers and Paths  this capability of calculating euclidean distances around barriers was implemented in ArcMap 10.7.1 but the instructions are only given for ArcPro (need 2.4.1).  I looked through the documentation that you cited for Dist. Accum. and Dist. Allo. but cannot find "Prior to generating an optimal path..." The original posting made this look like a 2 step process: Euclidean Dist and Cost Path as Polyline. Is that not correct? Are there more steps? And, more importantly, if these a plain language description of Step 1, Step 2, etc.? Thanks again, Mark ... View more
