Thanks for any and all replies in advance! I am trying to create python script tool that uses the merge tool but I am having issues getting the field map to show and populate as I add features. As of now, it won't even populate. However, if I recreate this using ModelBuilder, it works as intended. I am starting to think I need to get into Tool Validation. Here is the part I am having issues with: import arcpy #input features. Set output for merge polygonsToUse = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) mergedPolygons = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) #get field map so user can remove unneccessary fields fieldMap = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) #merge polygons arcpy.Merge(polygonsToUse,mergedPolygons,fieldMap)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ and here is a screenshot of my script tool parameter setup: Thank you! ...

Hey guys, I have created a model that I would like to run as a batch. When I enter the output path for the first row, it greys out the rest. Why is this?' Below is what my model looks like: ... View more

I have been tinkering with a network I created and generating service areas. Comparing it to ESRI generated service areas (using ArcGIS Online) for the same point shows a drastically different service area. So I started looking up network dataset tutorials. Most of these show you how to create a network, but not what a fully functional and accurate one actually has in terms of data (roads, rails, bus stops, stop signs, traffic signals....etc).  So my main question is, what data should I have in my dataset and what would the network settings look like? My secondary question, is what features and settings does the ESRI network contain? Thanks! ... View more

Thanks in advance for all help.   I am trying to create a model for adding staffing to certain fire stations and how that would change the possible response dynamics. I have looked into using VRP, but it looks much too complex for what I am after.   We want to know that if we add an extra apparatus to a fire station, if that fire station would take more 911 calls then the surrounding ones. I want to use historical data and say, if we add this vehicle, it will add this many runs to that station while also relieving this many runs from the surrounding stations.    So in relation to VRP, the "Depots" would be my fire stations while my "Orders" would be the 911 calls in the area. As for location-allocation, how would I model the capacities of each fire station? For instance, say one station has 2 trucks while all others have 1. The station with 2 trucks can respond to more events than those with one. How could I model this?   Any ideas are much appreciated! ... View more
