I am hoping you can help me with a model problem that I'm having. I'm working on a model that converts LiDAR LAS files to a hillshade (and DEM) for a class activity. It was working fine last week when I wrote it and ran it for a bunch of LiDAR files and various return classes. This week my TA was testing the directions before we give them to the students next week and it keeps crashing on the add feature class to terrain step. My model no longer works either. As soon as we input all the model parameters and hit enter, it says "Error 000800 Value is not a member of 0". Occasionally a second line says "Value is not a member of <none>". The model doesn't actually go through any steps before saying this - it somehow gets this information from the input parameters.
I double checked how to set up the Add Feature Class to Terrain tool by running all the tools separately in ArcToolbox and used the same settings for setting up that tool in the model. After that it ran successfully once but will not run again (for the same or different input LAS files). I have restarted the program but can't get it to work again. The same thing happened for the model my TA built.
We are running ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 sp2.
Although I am using an actual model, that is harder for me to share with you, so I've exported it to python. The relevant section of the python script (assuming we are correct on which tool causes the error) is here:
# Process: Add Feature Class to Terrain
arcpy.AddFeatureClassToTerrain_3d(Output_Terrain__2_, "# Shape masspoints 1 0 14 true false Multipoint_embed <None> false")
I know that we have false under the Embed question, so we should be able to leave the embed name blank, but that is not an option. I cannot change Embed to "True".
Thanks for any help that you can offer. I am trying to get this ready for a class where the students will be getting this stuff on Tuesday!
