Hi, I try to uncheck the background processing on geoprocessing option but it still has the same error (999999).
And the result said that the table was not found and the sun shadow volume failed to execute.

Any other suggestion for solving the problems? Thanks a lot!!!!

Hi All,

I have tested the behavior using 10.2.1 and it worked fine.

A. Try exporting your data from Shape file to Feature class  if you are working with shape file or vice-versa. > > Run tool again

Also Try:

1.  Take backup of your input

2.  Run Check geometry tool

3.  Run Repair Geometry tool

4.  Run Sun shadow..

Hope this is helpful.
