Heat Load Index

[jackieg2017]

Hi @jeffreyevans,

Thanks for this toolbox. It has been extremely helpful. I am having issues with the Heat Load Index. I have used the same data with other tools such as Compound Topographic Index. I am trying to use a DEM to get heat load index and keep getting the following error. I looked at the code and any adjustments I made didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? I included the error below.

Running script hli...

Can you please indicate what version of ArcGIS you are using?

I had this problem as well. ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1. The issue exists in the tool properties. It looks like there is a missing input (getparamaterastext(1)) that takes in the z-units of the dem. It is there in many of the other tools that JE has created. If you edit the tool properties and create another input and put it second that takes in a string with either "Meters" or "Feet" the tool will run just fine. For examples on how to do that just right click on one of the other tools that takes in a z-unit input and look at the properties

Hi, I encountered the same issue with ArcGIS desktop 10.6.1 and I'm not sure what to do in order to solve it. I tried jeremyg19 solution and added "inZUnits = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)" but it didn't seem to work. Can you please suggest any other solution to this issue.
Thanks
