topic Model Builder: Corresponding Image to Selected Features in Geoprocessing Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/model-builder-corresponding-image-to-selected/m-p/259309#M8894 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello all.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm currently on a project of identifying hydro features.&nbsp; These features are categorized in basins which have corresponding engineer and town images based on a tile system.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm looking to automate the process of inserting these images.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Manually, I select by location the PLATIndex to the defined Basin.&nbsp; Then open selected attributes to get the ID number and open an image folder which contains the subfolders of each image and then drag the .tif files into Arc (9.3).&nbsp; It's not a huge time consumer normally but I have to do it for three different imaging types and on a slow machine it racks up the time.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have set up the Select by Location part of the model but am unsure how to proceed.&nbsp; I'm not sure on how to build a command that says take the selected features and add the corresponding files from point x.&nbsp; Is this possible via builder or do I need to do it via python?&nbsp; I have nill python experience but it doesn't seem that bad to get (famous last words?).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It makes sense to me, at first, that it cannot be done in builder because it is a feature within Arc for Arc.&nbsp; Python will allow me to grab outside features.&nbsp; Is this thinking correct??
