Additional Information

Calculate Geometry Attributes is working as designed, however a tool in the model provided, Table To Ellipse, is setting a property that the output geometry type is always polyline, even though the parameter setting on that tool in the model is that the geometry type should be polygon. Since AREA is an invalid property for polylines, the Calculate Geometry Attribute tool raises that validation error. An internal defect has been logged for Table To Ellipse to be fixed.
