PGraafstra Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi,When I try to merge multiple coverages that have specified observed flow to a specific arc group, the merged coverage does not contain all arc groups from the original coverages, but only some of them (not the same arcs every time).Any suggestions how to deal with this, or a different approach to assigned multiple instances of observed flow to complex arc groups?I know there are ways to manually group the arcs in a single coverage and take it from there, but I have an intricate system of streams that is classified according to stream width. The 'observed flow' is used as a workaround by setting its weight to 0, as I need the jacobian matrix calculated by PEST for further analysis; manually grouping all these arcs is not really a workable option.Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.Pytrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGraafstra Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi,Since posting this, I did a little more digging and managed to solve the problem myself.It seems to be related to the structure of the shapefiles used to create the individual coverages before merging:- Shapefiles created by ArcGIS work without a hitch.- Shapefiles created by R (I used the maptools package), somehow seem to cause these problems.I don't know how GMS deals with these files, but I am guessing the problem has something to do with the lack of *.shp.xml and *.sbn files when creating files through R. Oddly enough, reading the shapefiles and mapping them to a single coverage has not given me any trouble, it is the merging process that somehow causes a problem.Pytrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kennard Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Can we take a look at your shapefiles? That would help to deduce what's going on here. You can contact support at support@aquaveo.com or (801) 691-5530 for info on how to upload your files. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
