The target locations are set via the Arc Hydro toolbar. After choosing "Set Target Locations" choose "hydroconfig". This should give you the default locations for the Arc Hydro geoprocessing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32532[/ATTACH] I rarely set this manually. I use the "Reset Target Locations" tool shown in the pic below. If your mxd is saved in a different plance than when you started the Arc Hydro project, resetting the target locations is required so Arc Hydro knows where to get and put the data. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32533[/ATTACH] Also, doing processing over a network can result in errors like this.

Other good advice. Thanks nidhinkn (Nidhin Karthikeyan) http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/105124-DEM-Reconditioning-error-(Arc-Hydro-10.2)?p=374970&viewfull=1#post374970 ... View more

I don't quite understand the "triangle" you are talking about. If you define the watershed for a piont, not on the road, but far downstream so that it includes all of the drainage points that cross the road, then you will have a polygon that covers the entire road. Then slice this polygon with the road and choose the side/sides that is/are uphill of the road. ... View more

Editing over a network is slow. If you are working over a network, copy the data to your local drive, edit it faster, then copy it back. Just a thought. ... View more

Seems like you are looking for the watershed boundary uphill of the road. Could you use hydrology tools to do define the watershed boundary (ridege line) and then use the road to slice the watershed and define only the uphill side of the road. ... View more

When I've seen this happen in other processing, it is the processing extent that gets messed up. I can't tell you how it gets messed up, but you can fix it by going through the Arc Map menus of "Geoprocessing>Environments>Process Extents". Here you choose a layer that has the North/South/East/West extents that you want to make the processing work withing. Either that or put in the N/S/E/W values. The larger the extents, the more time the processing would take, so just use a shape file or raster that defines the area you are working in.

I assume you already know about the ESRI Arc Hydro tools. The book on it may address this. http://www.amazon.com/Arc-Hydro-GIS-Water-Resources/dp/1589480341. Dr. David Maidment and Dr. Dean Djokic may have other papers or publications that address your question. ... View more

This error is new to me. At least I don't recall seeing it. Also, I've also not used the exact tools you are using (sink evaluation or sink selection).  If your project is on your local computer and you have your output data on your local computer, you will elimiate any error caused by doing the work over a network. For me, doing this has virtually eliminated puzzling errors. Also, checkout the link in my signature for other Arc Hydro tips. ... View more

I had run into a similar issue running 10.2.1. My work around was to create the folder it was wanting to write to in my case RAS43 in the system32 folder. I also shortened the name from LongestFlowPath to LFP or similar. Not sure which one did it, but ran it again and all is well. I've noticed over the years that shortening names, not using long file paths, not using special characters or spaces, making sure everything is in the same projection, and making sure your DEM covers your area of interest cures just about 99% of ArcHydro issues. Hope this helps. I'm linking to this good advice in the "Arc Hydro Problem Solvers" thread. Thanks! ... View more
