Hi, I am trying to make a python script that will do the equivalent to that of selecting a point feature editing this and creating "Points along line" with "Varying Distances". This will give a menu like this one: Where you will have to plot the distances manually. The next row will indicate the distance relative to the previous point. I have a lot of points I'd like to plot in and therefore I want the stuff to go automatically. So far I've had a look into using something like this: >>> arcpy.GeneratePointsAlongLines_management(line2choose,"pntsAlongLine","DISTANCE",[10,20,10]) The list i've made at the end obviously won't work. I've also had a look to the possibility of importing an excel file with the ID and Distance columns and creating points from this. If arcpy has a function to add a single point along a line with a specific distance from start I could do a loop and generate all the points from the imported table. So far I haven't found such a function. Br, Haakon Haugerud ... View more

Hi Im trying to assign values to a field by choosing a start value for a certain ID and having an increment and let the other field ID's automatically update with values depending on the start value and increment.  This involves referencing to the "row" or ID of the Field where i want the numbering to start. How do I update other rows in a field to make them dependent on a certain cell in the attribute table? Thanks, Br Haakon Haugerud ... View more

Hi, I get an error when trying to create a feature class: The name of the feature class is just "Test" so should not include any invalid characters. Before I have also tried to create contours (spatial analyst), but it takes forever to load. Other tools in geoprocessing does not finish (just says "Running" for a very long time). I have clipped the raster to reduce the data amount. I am also working on a local folder on my PC. Any ideas on the error and why processing takes such a long time? Thanks, Br Haakon Haugerud ...

Hi, I have received a shape file for a line with coordinates and elevation points. The elevation data is an own attribute: <Height>. I wish to visualize the line in 3D with terrain data and make a profile with terrain and the line together - how do I go around to do this? After importing the file, do I have to make any adjustments to specify that the height attribute is elevation data? Thank you, Best regards Haakon Haugerud  ... View more
