enter image description hereI'm merging several databases and clipping out certain areas of interest. Sometimes there are no points that are clipped because there is nothing in the clip. I have each of the features output to a geodatabase. Is there a way for it not to export the feature class to the geodatabase if the file is empty?

You can use the result of the Get Count (Data Management) tool, and check it within Using If-Then-Else logic for branching logic to check for features.

  • I'm not sure how to write code on this. I'm trying to do it with calculate values for the next step. I don't know how to plug in an if-then going from Row Count > Calculate Values. I'm fairly new to model builder. I'm going from "Select" > "Copy Features", but I want it to stop going if there's nothing in the feature. – MjonesGEO Mar 01 '13 at 00:54
  • @joebob, pg 110 of Getting to Know ArcGIS ModelBuilder goes over how to use if-elif statements. – artwork21 Mar 01 '13 at 12:32
