What is ModelBuilder? An interface that allows to you create workflows
that string together geoprocessing tools
The output of one tool can be used as the input to another tool in the workflow
2-6
Why Build or Use Models?
Automate repeated processes
Flowchart Analysis Process
Provide documentation for process
Provide tools others can use to perform analysis
Standardize workflows

Real World – Gilmer Co, GA Tax Assessors Problem: Two editors maintaining GIS data. Could not
afford ArcSDE.
Solution: Divide GIS data into 3 databases for editing. One North Half, One South Half, and One things that did not change often. Use Model to automate the process of combining into single GIS database for Printing, data sharing and Analysis.
ROI: ArcSDE Implementation Cost at time - $15,000.00. Model development & implementation cost - $2,400.00. Saving $12,600.00

Run Model until False Iteration
Must include a process which generates a True or False value
Boolean
0 or less False
1 or more True

2-94
Example Model for False Iteration
Copyright © 2013, eGIS Associates. All rights reserved.
Allows user to select a starting road in map
Selects other roads within 500 ft of road selected in map
Filters selected roads to only those owned by City and in either Fair or Poor condition
This section is the process to calculate the Boolean value needed to determine when you have reached the 10 mile limit
Generates a table summing the total length of roads selected
Selects all record equal to or less than 10 miles
Gets a Count of records selected
2-95
Using Feedback Variables
Feeds the results of a process as an input to a previous process
Referred to as Feedback Loop
Must limit the number of iterations

Expression uses Value Variable via In-line substitution ([PIN] = ‘%Value%’)
Selects parcel based on Expression
Captures selected parcel’s RealKey attribute value
RealKey is precondition for Copy Rows
Selects parcels within 300 feet of selected parcel from Select by Attribute Generates new table containing list
of parcels within 300 feet.
