Additional Information
Use floats instead of strings
Workaround
Use floats instead of strings. In the workflow included, it would be more direct to use the original floats, instead of concatenating them into a string, and then later spliting them out and using them as strings.Below is a modified chunk of the code that uses the float directly. The 2 modified lines are notedfor rec in tabCur: lochID = rec.getValue(lochField) punktNr=punktNr + 1 lPath.append([punktNr, rec.getValue(xField), rec.getValue(yField), rec.getValue(zField)]) #modifiedarcpy.AddMessage("Create 3D-Line of hole " + str(lochID) + " ...")lineArray = arcpy.Array()pnt = arcpy.Point()for pt in lPath: <a href="http://pnt.ID" target="_blank">pnt.ID</a>, pnt.X, pnt.Y, pnt.Z = pt #modified lineArray.add(pnt)
