Using of Iterators in the Modelbuilder

KlausKlaassen — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 05:27:31 GMT

I have to process al lot of data sets (xyz format and las format). I want to import this data sets in Arc GIS and continue to process the point shapefiles to TIN´s or Raster´s.
At the moment I make it manual for any data sets. The question is: Can I automating this process with a iterator?

You can use Iterate Field iterator to loop through LAS files. Example:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]15651[/ATTACH]

To get individual multipoint feature class from each LAS field in LAS to Multipoint tool, use %Name% in output file name:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]15652[/ATTACH]

When you want to combine many LAS files to one multipoint feature class, you can select whole folder of LAS files as an input for LAS to Multipoint tool.

The model is runnig.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]15698[/ATTACH]
But the output of the model are only the file without content.
The model read the points but don´t write the points.

Does this .las file convert without error when running standalone LAS to Multipoint tool?
Have you tried file geodatabase feature class as an output (instead of .shp)?
