Hi
Has anyone upgraded to ArcGIS 10 and installed/used ArcHydro with it?

Nathan,

ArcHydro is pretty much fully functional for ArcGIS 10, ver 2.0.0.80 was built Dec 22, 2010 and posted to the Water Resources ftp site, and it bundles AppFramework ver 4.0.0.22.

The embedded Help and Tutorial were updated Nov 15, 2010.

But, as has been well publicized the HEC GeoRAS and GeoHMS will not be updated in the near term for ArcGIS 10. So if your needs center on preprocessing support for HEC RAS or HMS, you'll need to stay with ArcGIS 9.3

Stuart,

How can I access the Water Resourses ftp so I can download Arc Hydro 2?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

See post #6 in this thread.  But here again are the credentials.

Credentials:
   ftp.esri.com
   login: RiverHydraulics
   passwd: river.1114

It is much easier to use an ftp utility like FileZilla as it is unwieldy to download in a Web browser.

Grab and read the �??readmemmddyyyy.doc�?� file on the root. Then change down to the ArcHydro folder and the Setup10 for ArcHydro version 2.x which is still late stage beta and only applicable for ArcGIS 10.

I have just installed ArcGIS 10 on a newly formatted computer, and also installed ArcHydro 2.0, and it seems to work much better than the previous versions (9.3.1). They have done a lot of improvement, especially adding some functions in the ArcHydro Toolbox, so that one can run Model Builder with more functions now.

However, there is one thing I cannot find, a function called Accumulate Shapes. It´s still on the help documentation, but I just cannot find it. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Alvaro

Mustafa,

That is correct, you have no license for that information and the material has always been password protected. It is proprietary, non-public domain material used by the Professional Services Water Resources team and HEC and Academic collaborators, in fee-based instruction on the use of the ArcHydro and HEC-GeoRAS, HEC-GeoHMS utilities.

The extensions are well documented, and the classroom/seminar materials are not needed for general use. You'll find you don't need them.

An alpha version of Arc Hydro 2.0 for ArcGIS 10 can be downloaded from ESRI ftp site.

ftp.esri.com
login: RiverHydraulics
password: river.1114
or

ftp://RiverHydraulics:river.1114@ftp.esri.com/ArcHydro/Setup10/

This is work in progresss and should be treated with care. If you choose to install it, you only need to run ArcHydroTools.msi after installing ArcGIS10 (from the ArcHydro/setup10/2.0.0.34 or similar version directory). ApFramework will be installed as well.

Notes

- Most Terrain Preprocessing/Terrain Morphology functions have been migrated and are avalaible as geoprocessing tools in the Arc Hydro toolbox and functions in the Arc Hydro toolbar.

- Network tools: Set Flow Direction is available as a geoprocessing tool in this release.

- Attributes: Compute Local Parameters is available in the menu

- Main delineation tools are available

You may report any issue by sending an e-mail to archydro@esri.com

Also, if you are getting some errors, try to turn off the background processing when running the geoprocessing tools -this is still being tested as well (using Geoprocessing > Geoprocessing options).

Okay I'm a student and I installed this on one of our computers in the university lab that runs Arc10, I'm having a little trouble finding the extension to add it in to 10. Any suggestions?

Matthew,

You've given the correct link in your post. Follow the ftp session down into the 2.0.1.15 folder and right mouse on the ArcHydroTools.msi and use "Save link as" (FF, or Save Target as for IE). Download to a good spot on the system.

Run the Microsoft Installer: either right mouse --> Install, or launch cmd.exe, navigate to the download folder, and execute "msiexec.exe /I ArcHydroTools.msi /qb"

As with any software installation you must have Administrators privilege to do the installation--is that the case in your school lab?

When installed, you activate the ArcHydro Tools from ArcMap 10 via
[INDENT]Customize --> Toolbars --> ArcHydro Tools
[/INDENT]
For full function of some tools, you will need to activate the "Spatial Analyst" and "3D Analyst" extensions from the Customize --> Extensions check boxes.

From what I understand, there are no plans to forward engineer Arc Hydro, TAUDEM, HEC-GeoRAS, or HEC-GeoHMS to compatibility with 10. So those of us in the H&H service lines will be sticking with 9.3 for quite some time. This is similar to when ESRI moved from 3.2 to 8.0: note how there are still people using 3.2 because of the investment people made in developing tools to work on the AV 3.x platform. That many more people have made a much more substantial investment in developing tools that work on the 9.x platform, and I suspect that very few people will be migrating to 10 that depend on 9.3 to generate income for them. Severl pals of mine had their IT dept push 10 out like the week it came out, and have had all sorts of problems going back to 9.3 so they could finish projects.


Gah Tom, you're such a buzzkill! What a dilemma for those of us with iPads and those that want to use new tools such as MODIS http://data.crwr.utexas.edu/blog/news/historical-evapotranspiration-data/:)

Guess I'll delay the upgrade till ArcHydro comes to 10 and proves its not going to be a big mess of headaches!

Hope you are well Tom!

Emily,

Looks like your link to the CRWR blog item on the MODIS16 project got trashed.  The CRWR Modis Toolkit is an ArcGIS 10 ArcPy site library based Python toolbox.

Anyway, have a look at the rest of the thread and you'll see that ArcHydro extension for Desktop 10 has been available for a while and is being actively refined by Dean Djokic and team.
