Moving points within ModelBuilder?

Question

I am attempting to create a tool through ModelBuilder that creates address points from parcel polygons. I have added the following tools to the Model. Feature to Point -> Append the point data to our address point feature class. I have been successful with the tool.

I wanted to know if there is a way to move the points after they are appended by let's say 000000.1 of an inch within the tool. I need the points to be displaced by a small amount so that the remaining attribute fields are picked up by ArcObjects (Zip Code & City Boundary). I know the other option is to use the "move command" within the editor toolbar. To have this run in one Python tool would be the ideal result. I have attached the exported Python Code from ModelBuilder, as well as the screenshot of the current model.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy


# Local variables:
FIREADM_Parcels_MCT = "PARCELS MCT UPLOAD"
Points = "%scratchGDB%\\Points"
FIREADM_AddrPoints = Points
FIREADM_AddrPoints__3_ = "FIREADM.AddrPoints"

# Process: Feature To Point
arcpy.FeatureToPoint_management(FIREADM_Parcels_MCT, Points, "CENTROID")

# Process: Append
arcpy.Append_management("%scratchGDB%\\Points", FIREADM_AddrPoints__3_, 
"NO_TEST", "STREET_NUMBER \"STREET_NUMBER\")

 def XYsetVALUE( shape, X_value, Y_value):
   myMoveX = 0.001
   myMoveY = 0.001
   point = shape.getPart(0)
   point.X = X_value + myMoveX
   point.Y = Y_value + myMoveY
   return point

Answer 1

You can adjust the location of a point's geometry using the field calculator. Just add a field calculator to the model and update the Shape field using your function.

This blog post explains how to do it pretty clearly. The code is essentially the same as what you've written.
