Similarly, for the original poster, Fill can do the job with an extra step of creating a bathub boundary around the raster and artificially altering the original DEM using the Con tool: Before Fill tool (ocean on right): After Fill tool: Values behind the barrier are the lowest crossing point on the barrier. ...

You should be able to get to this using the Fill tool. Hillshade Before: Hillshade After Fill: The values inside the filled sink are the elevation of the lowest point of the levee. ... View more

I think you should be able to do something like the following inside your loop: orig_vis = layer.visible # either True or False arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df, layer, sourcely, False) # update layer layer.visible = orig_vis # set visibility ... View more

Have you checked that the CRS is correctly defined for both datasets? ... View more

Is this identical to Append? ... View more

I'm at 10.2.2, but I get your error if I try to use the expression without Advanced selected. ... View more

Without any other information, it sounds like you may be able to use the Append tool. Append adds features from a feature class (your CAD linework) to another feature class (your personal geodatabase feature class), using the latter's table schema. You can match up fields between the two using the field map parameter. ... View more

Is your MDB file a personal geodatabase feature class or table? ... View more

You might be right, Chris. The supported formats lists "OpenGIS KML Encoding Standard" although I don't know if that includes all KML, or any KMZ. ... View more

There is no way to view KMZ in ArcMap without converting it. ... View more

What is LS == supposed to mean? Also, I suspect you're going to want to change ^ to ** (Map Algebra operators). ... View more

There are lots of extras out there for specific requirements, but most basically you're looking at a trade-off between price and accuracy. So, if you don't have any other requirements, get the cheapest unit that meets your accuracy requirement. ... View more

Here is at least most of what you'd need to convert polyline to polygon via Python: >>> in_lines = "open_lines" # input lines ... sr = arcpy.Describe(in_lines).spatialReference # CRS ... out_polys = [] # output list ... with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(in_lines,'SHAPE@',spatial_reference=sr) as cursor: # loop through lines ...     for row in cursor: # for each record ...         new_polyline_array = arcpy.Array() ...         for part in row[0]: # for each geometry part, if multipart ...             new_polyline_part_array = arcpy.Array() ...             for pnt in part: # for each vertex ...                 new_polyline_part_array.add(pnt) # add the vertex to the array ...             if not part[0].equals(pnt): # check if part is closed ...                 new_polyline_part_array.add(part[0]) # if not, close it ...             new_polyline_array.add(new_polyline_part_array) # add the parts to the output list ...         out_polys.append(arcpy.Polygon(new_polyline_array,sr)) # convert the output list to polygon objects ... arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(out_polys,r'in_memory\out_polys') # write to disk ...

Hmmm the dialog gives you an option (register the product). You could convert polylines to polygons using Python geometry objects, but I'm somewhat pressed for time at the moment. ... View more
