Thanks for the reply. That is a good suggestion, but every time I put a Locate Features Along Routes tool in a model, this happens. Right now, I expose the option to select "Line" and "FMEAS" and "TMEAS" even though it's redundant. The model always runs in polygon inputs and the output is always linear.
It's the first tool in the model. In the image below, the Input Features are polygons and the output Event Table Properties have defaulted to point and thrown an error due to the fact that point will not work.
