I have all my data in a feature class and want to use a model to convert it into a kml, is there a way to do this? So far see the tool for, save to layer file, and layer to kml. but I get errors when trying to use them straight off of my feature class. I have 9.3.1
This is when in the model I try to connect the Feature class to, Save to Layer File Tool: The feature class value __ does not meet the input requirements for any of the parameters for the save to layer file tool. Input Layer: ERROR 000840: The value is not a Layer
This is when the model I try to connect the Feature class to , Layer To KML Tool: All possible input parameters already have a value. Layer: ERROR 000840: The value is not a Layer. Layer Output Scale: ERROR 000840: The value is not a Boolean. Extent to Export: Already has value. Size of returned image (pixels): ERROR 000840: The value is not a Long. DPI of output image: Error 000840: the value is not a Long.
I have tried to look up the ERROR 000840 but I have not get anywhere
"Layer To KML - This tool converts an in-memory or file-based feature or raster layer into a KML file containing a translation of ESRI geometries and symbology."
You can either use a layer in the TOC or a layer saved as a layer file.
I have figured out how to create a feature class to a KML, you must convert the feature class to a feature layer, then layer to KML. but now I lost my information that was in the Feature. Any ideals

All you should have to do is to add a feature class to ArcMap then drag the layer to the tool (or use the drop-down to select it) No conversion necessary; Geodatabase feature class added to ArcMap is a feature layer.
