Hello,
I am trying to automate a long process in model builder and I am having trouble with one of the steps. I have the ArcGIS 10.2.2 student software and I am trying to run the following model:
I know there is a lot there, but the part I am having trouble with involves selecting by attributes from a feature, making a layer, and then copying the features so I then do some more geoprocessing (dissolve, etc.). The model works great until I get to the "Copy Features" tool which spits out the following error:
Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000840: The value is not a Feature Layer.
ERROR 000840: The value is not a Raster Catalog Layer.
Failed to execute (Copy Features).
Just for kicks, I tried the "Create Feature Class" and "Feature Class to Feature Class" tools and I get the same error message.
I am really baffled here because I broke up this model into smaller components and ran the following model that starts after the "Script" tool in my other picture and the "Copy Features" tool works just fine:
I need the first model to work, however, because I need to use an early output in a geoprocessing step later (I just haven't incorporated that step into the model yet).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I should post any other helpful information.
Thanks,
Pat
Could you Move this thread to | Model Builder Group |
Put Make Feature Layer tool just before the Copy Features tool in Model Builder. I hope it will solve the issue.
Why is it important to use feature layers in ModelBuilder?
