Hi,
I get this error when trying to import a point shapefile (for customer meters)
It says "Invalid Esri Shapetype"
And then "data Source is empty or contains cross referenced data"
I have view the shape file in QGIS and nothing seems out the ordinary?
Any ideas why it gives the error?
Regards,
Rossouw
Hello Rossouw,
It could be because the shapefile contains multi-feature data types which currently are not supported by ModelBuilder. Try to create a copy of the shapefile in QGIS and then use that file in ModelBuilder. Ensure that the supporting files are also present where this shapefile is stored. You can also try the troubleshooting steps provided in this article;
Error selecting shapefile in ModelBuilder "Invalid Esri ShapeType" and "Data source is empty or contains cross referenced data"
Let me know if this helps.
