ModelBuilder Tips and Tricks
ModelBuilder Tips and Tricks Shitij Mehta
Outline Demo 1 – Well begun is half done!...Aristotle - Tip Demo 2 – Creating better models - Tip = Art of using tools - Selection - Joins - Overlay - Raster Analysis
Demo 3 – ModelBuilder functionality - Tricks - Iterators - Model Only Tools - Inline Variable Substitution - Precondition - Interactive - Value List
Where to get help? What is ModelBuilder? Tutorials on ModelBuilder Tool Help Advanced ModelBuilder
Model and Script Tool Gallery Online Blogs
Recap - Demo 1- Well begun is half done… 1. Organize well
2. Relatively well
Aristotle
3. Environmentally well
Recap - Demo 2- Which tools? – Few examples Selection – Select, Select layer By Location, Select Layer By Attribute, Make Feature Layer / Make Table View
Joins – Add Join, Remove Join, Join Field, Spatial Join Overlay – Erase, Identity, Intersect, Spatial Join, Symmetrical Difference, Union, Update
Raster Analysis – Environments- Cell Size, Extent, Mask
Recap - Demo 3- ModelBuilder Tricks • Iterators – Awesome! • ModelOnly Tools - Calculate Value – Super friend!
• Inline Variable Substitution – •
In SQL expressions - Name = ‘%Value%’ “%Value%”.replace( “ ”, “”)
•
In output name - C:\Scratch\Scratch.gdb\%Value%
• Preconditions onditions
Demo 3- ModelBuilder Functionality • Model Parameters • Interactive – Feature Set/Record Set
• Choice List – Value List Filter • Intermediate Data
Question's?
Thank You!
