  1. Geoprocessing basic Basic ArcToolbox

  2. Append, Merge Append Append is one of the Data Management tools for manipulating feature classes. This tool merges multiple feature classes together to create a single feature class.

  3. Buffer Buffer Buffer is one of the Analysis tools used in calculating proximity. This tool creates a new feature class of buffer polygons around either polygon, line, or point features.

  4. Clip Clip Clip is one of the Analysis tools used for extracting features or parts of features from a feature class. This tool uses a polygon boundary to cut features and their attributes from a feature class.

  5. Dissolve Dissolve is one of the Data Management tools used for generalizing features. This tool combines like features based on a specified attribute or attributes.

  6. Intersect Intersect Intersect is one of the Analysis tools used to perform overlay analysis on feature classes. This tool builds a new feature class from the intersecting features common in both feature classes.

  7. Union Union Union is another Analysis tool used to perform overlay analysis on feature classes. This tool builds a new feature class by combining the features and attributes of each feature class.

  8. Add XY Coordinates Add XY Coordinates Add XY Coordinates is one of the Data Management tools for managing features and their attributes. This tool adds the POINT_X and POINT_Y fields to the feature's attribute table and calculates the x,y location for the fields for labels, points, tics, or nodes.

  9. Erase Erase Erase is one of the Analysis tools used to perform overlay analysis on feature classes. This tool creates a feature class from those features or portions of features outside the erase feature class.

  10. Feature to Line, Feature to Point, and Feature to Polygon Feature to Line, Feature to Point, and Feature to Polygon Feature to Line, Feature to Point, and Feature to Polygon are Data Management tools used for manipulating features. These tools create line, point, or polygon features from other features.

  11. Split Split Split is one of the Analysis tools used for extracting features or parts of features from a feature class. This tool breaks the features into multiple features.

  13. Automate Geoprocessing

  14. Automate your work…! OutputDataSet1 InputDataSet2 InputDataSet1 Tool1(Project,…) Tool2(Clip,…) OutputDataSet2

  15. What Is A Model ? Models are how you automate your work Software application: ModelBuilder Drawing the Process

  16. Why Modeling…? • document the processing steps (workflow) that you carried out • You will forget • You may need to do it again • re-run the analysis to experiment with different parameters to see how results are affected • rerun the analysis if you find a mistake • carry out repetitive, multi-step tasks • provide other users (e.g. operations staff) with an exact workflow that they can replicate

  17. Using Model Builder…? 1 2 3

  18. Using Model Builder…?

  19. Using Model Builder…?

  20. Using Model Builder…?

  21. Model Builder Element State • Model elements have 3 states • Not ready to run (parameters aren’t defined) • Ready to run (all elements are colored) • Already run (elements are colored and shaded) Usually referred to as Derived Data output Input tool
