I found under the menu "Customize>ArcMap Options>Raster Tab>Raster Dataset subtab - Max Number of Unique Values to Render" has the same number I put into the "AdvancedArcMapSettings.exe" interface. As a matter of fact, it appears to be the same variable and either interface changes the same value. ... View more

Dmitrii, I just started a new mxd, added the NHDFlowline layer, added elev_cm, saved as SM.mxd (a simple file name), in G:\fldctl\PROGRAMS\ArcHydro\DataForArcHydro20Tutorial\SanMarcos (a long directory name, but with no spaces). Then I ran the DEM Reconditioning and it ran fine. This is with the elev_cm which is an "unsigned integer" grid which I thought might be a problem, but obviously isn't. My sense is that your problem is not the data. Check your directory path and make sure it has no spaces. Start from a clean mxd so the target locations are set properly. Keep it simple and see if it runs. FYI - my target locations are (look under ApUtilities\Set Target Locations\HydroConfig):[INDENT]Raster Data: G:\fldctl\PROGRAMS\ArcHydro\DataForArcHydro20Tutorial\SanMarcos\ Vector Data: G:\fldctl\PROGRAMS\ArcHydro\DataForArcHydro20Tutorial\SanMarcos\sm.gdb (sm.gdb here has the same name as the name of as my sm.mxd)[/INDENT] I've attached a zip of the Toolbox with the Model in it. The bulk of the Model can be found in the Arc Hydro Toolbox.tbx under Terrain Preprocessing Workflows/Basic Dendritic Terrain Processing. I've added the DEM Reconditioning and Fill Sinks tools by dragging and dropping that command from the Arc Hydro Toolbox.tbx\Terrain Preprocessing tools and then editing the input "ovals" to reference the correct DEM and stream data. I suggest you put the unzipped Toolbox.tbx file in the same directory as your mxd. Via the catalogue in ArcMap open the toolbox and then edit the Model. Make sure the input ovals reference your data, save the model and then run it while in "edit". You can copy and paste the runtime messages to a text/word file if you need to keep them for study. I just did this for a final check and it work fine. Let us know how it goes. ... View more

Dmitrii, I downloaded the tutorial data from the link you provided and started an mxd. I set up a model in Model Builder. I find the runtime messages from Model Builder are a little more informative. I saw a message about the elev DEM being integer. So, I used the raster calculator function Float() function to make a floating point DEM. I tried again and found my target locations were off (I hadn't started by closing ArcMap and starting from scratch). I also saved the mxd with a shorter name, made sure the processing extent was the same as my new DEM. I started up the model again and it ran fine all the way through AdjointCatchment (see image). So, I think the tutorial stream data is good and it comes with the correct field name (OBJECTID). I think your error might be that DEM is integer and needs to be converted to floating point. After getting the Model to run with a floating point DEM, I ran it again with the integer DEM and it didn't get past the DEM Reconditioning. I changed to the floating point DEM and it ran fine. So use the raster calculator float() function to create a floating point DEM. Then check the processing extent and the target locations to make sure they are correct. The best thing to do is to start with a fresh mxd with a simple name and save it after adding the DEM and stream layer. Hope this helps. [ATTACH=CONFIG]19026[/ATTACH] ... View more

I set my HP calculator to work in Radians and I got Tan(32.998260) = -86.669029. So, I think you need to do a conversion of your degrees to radians and then to the Tan() function. This is confirmed by the help on Tan(): http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?id=6412&pid=6399&topicname=Tan&. It looks like "DEG" is a constant that equals 180/pi and so you might be able to use this equation: Ln("fac" / Tan("slope" / DEG)) Also note that the Raster Calculator is finicky with spaces around operands.  If you use the "calculator pad" in the Raster Calculator to build your equations, it makes sure all the spaces are where they should be. ...

See if slope is in percent instead of degrees. ... View more
