Access "Accumulate Attributes" in model or Python

[ehm119]

Is there a way to access the ArcHydro "Accumulate Attributes" tool through either a model or Python? The tool is on the toolbar and is working well for my purposes, but I am trying to automate the processing of many operations and I don't see it available in the ArcHydro toolbox, nor do I see Python syntax anywhere. I am using ArcGIS 10 and ArcHydro 2.0.1.75.

Thanks,
-Erik

Did you ever find an answer for this?
Thanks!

Hi Erik

There is currently no way to achieve this either by scripting or model bulder. The reason for this is that you can't access the tool via the toolbox. You would have write your own tool to perform the same process using either python or C#.

Thanks, I thought that may be the case.

I notice the last post on this topic was from January. Has anybody come across a script that can automate the accumulate attributes process?

Don't know if you're still looking for this, but I ended up scripting something using the Geometric Network tools (available as a toolbox in 10.1) and an arcpy.da cursor. It takes a while to run (~30hours to run my stream network of 410,000 segments) but that's actually a little faster than the performance I was getting using ArcHydro's Accumulate Attributes. Let me know if you're still interested...

Hey Erik - thanks for the response, I just noticed it. I would definitely be interested in seeing that script, as well as in any useful instructions for its use that you'd like to share.
