Error in DoModelImport

[sbourne]

When I try to import an sdf-based xml file from HecRAS 3.1.1 to Hec GeoRAS 4.1, I get the error, "Error in DoModelImport". I can click OK to this and the geodatabase is created in ArcMap, but with no data in it. Any ideas?

I have the same problem.

if I find a solution I will let you know,

YOu must use RAS 3.1.3. The is a new block of code introduced that defines the spatial extents of the data.

AbNormal_Depth, I use RAS 3.1.3, but I have a similar problem: when i try to import an sdf-bases xml file from HecRAS to HEC GeoRAS 4.1, I get the error: "Error in DoGenericImport". The geodatabase is created, but with no data in it.
Why??

As abnormal depth suggested in another thread you should try this :

during the Setup, make sure that you have NOT selected a terrain model. (Start a new Arcmap sesssion that has never
had a terrain model used for post processing.)

It worked for me

[antoniogallegos]

I have started a new arcmap session, and i don't select the TIN, but the problem persist.

.... how i say "suicidio" in english??? <-(

Another idea....
look at the SDF (or the XML). XML cannot have "special" characters in the text...such as tildas or accents. If the file has any of the characters it is not a valid xml file.

[antoniogallegos]

Thanks, but the problem persist.

- My HEC RAS version is 3.1.3.
- In post processing setup i don't select the TIN
- The xml file has not special characters
- beside, I run: regsvr32 "C:\Archivos de programa\esri\WaterUtils\XMLDataTools\bin\GenericImport9.dll"

...but the problem persist.

More information about my error:
- sometimes, i get, beside, the next error: "AP Framework - From copy featureclass 91, la variable de tipo object o la variable de bloque with no está establecida".

Anybody has the same error???

[kevinruswick]

I have gotten the same DoGenericImport Error and "copyfeatureclass: 91, object variable or with block variable not set"

Has anybody been able to resolve this?

See my post: error messgae with installation of Apframe. I had exact the same error with Geo-Ras . So I had to reintall the whole window system and Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.

i get the DoModelImport error when trying to import data with a grid selected. i tried it without the grid and it brought in the data. now how am i supposed to bring in the terrain so i can do inundation mapping?

[ntrommler]

did anybody tried to solve the problem by extracting extend and elevation of the inundation area from the *.xml or *.sdf file with the help of a script

i am not that familiar to do it on my own

can anybody help, please?
thanks in advance
