Oliver You are right, I would change the search neighborhood of idw to only use only a few neighbors. -Steve ... View more

Please post an image of IDW using the same classification and colors you have in the finite-element output. What happens if you make the cell size smaller? -Steve ... View more

Adam You don't need to do the select all part. To rule out the possibility of an earlier selection, run the tool again but rather than use the layer as input browse to the data and use the feature class on disk as input. Or, open a fresh project and try again. -Steve ... View more

Emily There are also some additional questions; is the input in meters, feet, degrees? are you expecting a single cell raster? what will you be using this raster for? what version of ArcGIS are you using? Also, you state that the generated output is empty; does this raster have 1 column and 1 row? is it in a file geodatabase (fgdb)? Thanks -Steve ... View more
