ModelBuilder Introduction

A brief introduction to creating a new ArcGIS model using ModelBuilder. The raster tools Euclidean Distance and Zonal Statistics are used.

[@SarahKienker]

Nice and clear instructions, even learned some quicker paths to clear up my model that I hadn't been taught or explored before. Thanks.

[@mozstick]

Super helpful. Clear and great pace with direction. Thanks for sharing!!

[@shimelisabebetegegn1792]

Thank you for ur precise introduction, keep it up with other modelbuilder.

[@DonBoyes]

You're welcome, and will do!

[@DonBoyes]

You're very welcome - glad it was helpful.

Hello sir. Great job. I have another of your videovideo on model building where you used NDVi. Please how did you vectorize that particular data given NDVI is usually raster data. Thank you.

[@DonBoyes]

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful! I don't recall converting an NDVI to vector, so if you can post the link to the video I can have a look.

[@adben]

@@DonBoyes It was your Week 2 Coursera lectures titled 'Model Builder example', part of the Spatial analysis series. The video had NDVI for the neigborhood as vector format to help in site selection for suitable housing. I take the online course and was struggling to understand how that particular part worked? thank you Sir www.coursera.org/learn/spatial-analysis-satellite-imagery-in-a-gis/lecture/Gfp5R/modelbuilder-example

[@DonBoyes]

Okay, now I understand, thanks. The Zonal Statistics tool can use a vector feature class to define the zone, and then it is used to calculate a statistic using the raster NDVI data. See this page for more info: desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/spatial-analyst-toolbox/how-zonal-statistics-works.htm

Thank you very much! How to export model to addinn?

[@mehdi5738]

Thank you. It was Very nice to me

[@idhamkhalil]

Thank you very much. This video really helps.

[@osmarenriqueibanezmontejo2436]

Buen dia, solo tengo una consulta como integrar la herramienta "intersect" en un modelo de modelbuilder, si el output ultimo es el "input" de la herramienta, y para la herramienta "intersect" se necesitan dos capas, la pregunta es: como se integra el segundo "input" al modelo?

[@DonBoyes]

Sorry, but I'm afraid I don't understand the question.

[@kimballrobertsr.a.3541]

Greetings Don, Great tutorial video. In lieu of running a typical SQL routine to collect different sewer manhole data with flow area polygons, how could I use model builder to achieve similar results. Thanks, Scott

[@DonBoyes]

Hi Kimball - You can use the Select Layer by Location tool desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/data-management-toolbox/select-layer-by-location.htm and the Select Layer by Location tool desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/data-management-toolbox/select-layer-by-location.htm to execute selections using ModelBuilder. Hope that helps - Don

[@alianbaba9330]

Thanks Don

[@nabilahaafiyah549]

Thank you so much!

[@DonBoyes]

You're very welcome, Nabila!

[@geomatist]

Great work thank you

[@DonBoyes]

You're very welcome - glad you liked it.

[@KyleNelson89]

Great video! Do you plan on releasing more advanced model building demos?

[@DonBoyes]

Thanks! No immediate plans, but I'll put it on my to do list.

[@KyleNelson89]

Looking forward to it! As someone who works with ArcGIS everyday it's nice to watch videos on tools I don't often utilize. There's so much the program can do, sometimes you just need a little refresher training.

[@DonBoyes]

I know what you mean!

[@theOneGuy113]

I see Toronto!

[@rupalsrivastava1]

Why 25? What does it signify!

[@DonBoyes]

It means that the cells used in the output will each be 25 m wide and 25 m high.

Nice
