Extract Roof Form Error - Projected Polygon feature class expected

Question

Hi, I try to use the Extract Roof Form tool with the city GIS website's footprint shp file, which I want to make into 3D. I already run the process to generate the DSM, DTM, and nDSM, but it has an error unable to use the building footprint and go next. How I should do?

Is all the footprint file must generate by Lidar data? Or there is something wrong with my building footprints data?

I noticed the building footprint is using WGS 1984. Is it the main problem that causes it doesn't work? If it is, how to convert that into projected polygon?

Building footprint sources: https://www.rigis.org/datasets/building-footprints

Thanks

Thanks, finally made it.

Could you export the existing shapefiles to File GDB Feature Classes? Also define the output Building Polygons as a File GDB Feature Class.

The tool seems to add a suffix to the output filename, which doesn't go quite well with shapefiles.

It seems still not work very well after I project it and clean it. And it keeps falling for the whole day. No matter simplify or not or only generate a flat roof. Do you know what this fail is? Thanks!
