Convert selected features to kml
hi,
May you please assist me with my model builder, so basically i have 15 layers and i would like to select layers by certain attributes first and then convert the selected attributes to kml without having to export the selected features to a feature class. However i cannot get this to work as all the features are being converted to kml instead of the selected features only am i suppose to add some extra code or what.
i do not want to export the selected features as that would create a lot of layers and it will become messy.
Hi Olinda,
Try this way: use Copy Features tool to copy your selected features into a temp feature class, then Make Feature Layer by the temp feature class, and then Layer To KML tool.
The Copy Features tool will pick up selected features only if the input is a layer and has a selection..
Thank you so much for your response, however i am not getting the kml file. For some reason its not being saved. please assist
