Data Manipulation & Analysis

[djscruggs21]

Hello, I'm no pro at ArcGis Pro, but I would like to use it delineate watersheds and bring in layers I purchase from the City. In order to analyze drainage basins, I may bring in 10 or more feature classes, such as: Buildings, roads, soil types, drainage area, drainage basin, forest areas, etc. 

I then want to merge this data using union tool, extract the attribute table to excel to interpolate the data using pivot tables. Unfortunately, using the union tool with basic or standard license limits this ability to 2 feature class at a time. I'm really unsure about spending $3,800 per year to get this extra convenience. 

Is there an add-on tool that will allow me to perform this function? 

Thanks!

You could manage that by executing a series of Union in a Model Builder, and save it as a tool/ script.

FC1+FC2=U1

U1+FC3=U2

U2+FC4=U3

...

You could keep all the FC inputs as Parameter, in case you want the users to define the inputs in the tool.

That's a good idea. I don't know how to do that, but I once knew in ArcMap, so I'm sure I can figure it out again. For $3,100 a year, I might get pretty good at it.
