Need help building a simple model

[WightmanAdmin]

I have a large amount of shapefiles that I need to do a few things to.  First I need to export them as individual Feature Classes into a Feature Dataset within a File Geodatabase.  Then I need to add 5 fields to them.

SHEET_NAME  text  50
ENGINEER  text  100
PROJECT_NO  text  50
SHEET_NO  text  50
DATE  text  50

Also, they can just be named what the shapefile is named. 

Any thoughts on this? 

As always thank you in advance.

Hi Ryan,

You could probably accomplish this easier with python.  Here is an example:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# set workspace where shapefiles are located
env.workspace = r"C:\data\temp\python"

# create empty list
list = []

# append each shapefile in workspace to list
for shapefile in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*.shp"):
    list.append(shapefile)

# import list of shapefiles into File Geodatabase feature dataset
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(list, r"C:\Temp\Python\Redlands.gdb\Data")

# set workspace to File Geodatabase
env.workspace = r"C:\Temp\Python\Redlands.gdb"

# loop through each feature class in 'Data' feature dataset and add fields
for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*", "", "Data"):
    arcpy.AddField_management(fc, "SHEET_NAME", "TEXT", "", "", "50")
    arcpy.AddField_management(fc, "ENGINEER", "TEXT", "", "", "100")
    arcpy.AddField_management(fc, "PROJECT_NO", "TEXT", "", "", "50")
    arcpy.AddField_management(fc, "SHEET_NO", "TEXT", "", "", "50")
    arcpy.AddField_management(fc, "DATE", "TEXT", "", "", "50")
