Hi there,

I am getting the following error when trying to run the HRA model:

**TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘getitem’.**

Please see attached log and csv files: [exposure\_consequence\_criteria.csv](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/uploads/short-url/56OvsT18iFAqemyTrhHsVfEJmf0.csv) (7.2 KB) [InVEST-Habitat-Risk-Assessment-log-2020-01-10–12\_42\_39.txt](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/uploads/short-url/8N5Ks9ByKVciMxjeYtmh9xGOeSi.txt) (8.6 KB)

Can you use kml files or do you need UTM projected SHP files for each vector file?

Hi @LucStrydom -

Glad you got it working, and can you share how, in case it helps someone else?

Sure. The problem was that one of my “stressor” vector files was a line feature (kml). I created a small buffer to convert it to a polygon and that seemed to do the trick.
