Calculate Length Downstream For Junctions Add Field Issue

[JoshObrecht]

While trying to run the Calculate Length Downstream For Junctions tool, I receive the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\444\Desktop\streams_final.py", line 49, in <module>

    ArcHydroTools.CalculateLengthDownstreamForJunctions(PlacedPoints)

    raise e

Failed to execute (CalculateLengthDownstreamForJunctions).

I am running the tool against a Feature Class. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

Any help would be great

Josh,

I've posted several "solutions" to Arc Hydro problems at ArcHydro Problem Solvers‌. You can peruse this for other solution ideas.

The "HRESULT E_FAIL" type error could be due to two things (my best off the top of my head guess).

• Having your project files on a server. Put them on your local drive - runs faster and with fewer errors like this.
• Put as much of your data as possible in geodatabases. They are more stable than regular shape files.

I will look in that thread to see if it helps. Both of your suggestions were already being done.

There was nothing in that thread that helped.
