Thank you for the suggestions. After fixing my coordinate system, it was very easy to create my model. While the spatial join works well, I am wanting to test out the select layer by location tool so that it automatically highlights/flags those points that are within the boundary. The part I am stuck on is creating the script in the calculate field tool so that the selected points (those within the boundary) have "Yes" in the new field, while those not in the boundary have a "No" in the new field. I imagine it's very similar to what I used for the spatial join, but don't know how to write it since I am wanting the selected features to return a "Yes" in the field. For the spatial join I used: Expression: calc(!Join_Count!) def calc(InBoundary): if InBoundary == 0: return 'N' return 'Y'

Hi, I am very new to Model Builder and need to make a model that will create a new field which basically says "yes, this point is within this boundary," or "no, this point is not within this boundary." I have used the select layer by location tool to select the points that are within my other shapefile (a polygon), and believe I need to use the "Add Field" and "Calculate Field" tools, but am stuck as to where to go from here and how to get the Yes/No text into the new field. From my understanding, the spatial join tool could also be used, however, I end up with zero results which is incorrect (possibly user error?). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
