Taking KMZs as input parameters won't work.

Hello,

My second get parameter as text isn't working. Once I load the script in pro, if I set the parameter to be a 'kml layer' it says the kmz files are unsupported. If I try just 'file' this also returns an error. What should I set this parameter to take as input? Thank you.

# Import the necessary modules import arcpy # Set the workspace arcpy.env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # Get the input KML file and output layer name input_kml = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) output_layer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) # Convert the KML to a layer arcpy.KMLToLayer_conversion(input_kml, arcpy.env.workspace, output_layer) # Get the output projected layer name and the projection information output_projected_layer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) projection_info = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4) # Project the layer arcpy.Project_management(output_layer, output_projected_layer, projection_info) # Print a success message print("Successfully converted KML to layer and projected it")

You might try text/string to specify the output name (text)

output_name = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)

output_layer = rf"{arcpy.env.workspace}\\{output_name}
