I did 800 square miles of Salt Lake County, Utah back in 2013 on 1 meter LiDAR.  Yes, it's a heavy lift.  I ran it for every month of the year on both Direct Hours and kwh/m2, so 24 individual runs.  I was on 32 bit back then, 100 GB RAM, and 32 cores.  That took a month running maxed out! You CAN run "embarrassingly parallel" but you need a Spatial Analyst license for each core you'll run.  We have a site license, so I'm not limited by SA licenses.  So "embarrassingly parallel" means you write a script for each run, and kick them off separately.  Have the result write to separate file locations and merge afterward.  Done. ...

Maybe python isn't needed much?  Explode your parcels to individual segments, spatial join parcel segments to your roads.  Now the shortest distance segment would be your frontage.   ... View more

Nope!  I hit Manage Environments/Clone and it shows the new env w/ the Active radio button checked and then it say to restart Pro to take effect, but upon restarting there's no clone!  What up?! ... View more

Much thanks!  That'll give me a big head start when I get time to jump into this! Kev ... View more

Thanks.  So what if I have a service that has some data copied to the server, and some data reference to sde that's registered in the datastore?  I'd like to be able to get copied/referenced per layer in the service.  Any idea on that? ... View more

Changed  f.write('what the hell?') to f.write(ext.XMin, ext.YMin) and nothing is written to the log file that is open to append. ... View more

Coordinate systems is GCS_WGS_1984 in the map, and I added sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326) polygon = arcpy.Polygon(array, sr) And now I see in the properties that the coord sys are identical but I still get no entry in my log.  I do log data from this addin's combo box selection change, but not this.  Here's what I'm running. def onRectangle(self, rectangle_geometry):        ext = rectangle_geometry    array = arcpy.Array()    array.add(arcpy.Point(ext.XMin, ext.YMin))    array.add(arcpy.Point(ext.XMin, ext.YMax))    array.add(arcpy.Point(ext.XMax, ext.YMax))    array.add(arcpy.Point(ext.XMax, ext.YMin))    array.add(arcpy.Point(ext.XMin, ext.YMin))    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)    polygon = arcpy.Polygon(array, sr)    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(polygon, "in_memory//Polygon_Extent")    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management("in_memory//Polygon_Extent", 'selectLyr')    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management('events', 'eventsLyr')    f = open(r'E:\ArcMap\BuildingServices\20180411_misassignedInspectors\addin\log.txt','a')    f.write('what the hell?')    f.close()    arcpy.Delete_management("in_memory//Polygon_Extent")    arcpy.Delete_management('selectLyr')    arcpy.Delete_management('eventsLyr') Nothing is written to the log, but the polygon is created in the map, so the def is running.  : ( ...

How can I ensure the coordinate systems are the same.  That's got to be it, but I'm stuck. The map where the tool is used is in state plane, and the event layer is projecting on the fly from wgs 84.  When I'm creating the feature layer for the events there's no option to specify a different coordinate system. ...

Yes!  I do get a count if I forego the selection.  If I do the select by location the count is zero, with out it 258 which is correct. ... View more
