It is basically a select by attribute/select by location query to classify out some lakes. I have attached the flow chart of the specifications that need to be met. I would like my final product to be a column with the lake classification populated. I have watched the ???Python for Everyone??? video and I bought the book ???A Python Primer for Arc GIS???. I was hoping someone could help me out with the basic structure/ provide a road map on how I can accomplish this.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:55:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/running-lake-classification-with-python/m-p/375720#M29701 ScottAtherton1 2013-03-25T21:55:55Z Re: Running Lake Classification with Python https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/running-lake-classification-with-python/m-p/375721#M29702 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Scott,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>One option is to look at building a Geoprocessing Model with </SPAN><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/What_is_ModelBuilder/002w00000001000000/">Modelbuilder</A><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can easily drag the tools you need (e.g. select by attribute and select by location tools) right from ArcToolbox onto the model and then link them up.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can also include </SPAN><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Using_If_Then_Else_logic_for_branching/002w00000022000000/">If-Then-Else logic for branching</A><SPAN>.&nbsp; This is where you would put some of that python to use to build the logic but leave all of the geoprocessing operations to the model.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Using a model might be a little easier and quicker to build than coding the whole thing as a python script and it is a good way to visualize your workflow like in your PDF.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Good Luck!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Joel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 25 Mar 2013 23:17:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/running-lake-classification-with-python/m-p/375721#M29702 JoelCalhoun 2013-03-25T23:17:58Z
