Hello. I have a newbie question concerning the Viewshed Tool. When attempting to use this tool, I get the following error:
My "Input point or polyline observer features" is a shape file consisting of 222 geocoded points, all of which I have verified as having valid non-zero latitude and longitude values. So when the error message refers to "Point 222 with coordinates 0.000, 35657162752.000", I don't know what it's talking about, since that Point is not in the file I have specified for input. My file has FID values ranging from 0 to 221.
All parameters are defaults except for Extent, for which I have specified "Union of inputs".
Any guidance on what I am doing wrong would be gratefully accepted.
Many thanks.

Excellent. That was it. Once I projected my elevation data layer into the appropriate coordinate system, Viewshed began to cooperate.
Thank you so much for that kick start.
Cheers.
