Description:
This course introduces ArcGIS users to the capabilities and uses of ModelBuilder. The course is designed to explore how ModelBuilder works and how models can be created, edited and used to automate repetitive tasks or to run more complex analyses. While ModelBuilder is relatively simple to use, it can be a bit confusing when first getting started. This class consists of a combination of brief classroom presentations and hands-on exercises.

General topics:
* creating and running models using ModelBuilder * automation of geoprocesing * sharing models with other users * ArcGIS 9.2

Participants will learn to :
* use the ModelBuilder interface to create and edit simple models * add data and connect geoprocessing tasks to input/output datasets * automate geoprocessing workflows * establish model properties * control data parameters and variables in models * add models as tools to ArcToolbox * run models from the ModelBuilder interface or from ArcToolbox * create user documentation and help files * make models generic (transferable to other ArcGIS users)

Software used:
* ArcGIS 9.2 * Spatial Analyst * ModelBuilder
