GIS Programming Module 5

This week in the lab we worked with creating Models and running scripts in ArcMap. To create the Model I completed the following steps.

1.       The first Step is to create a toolbox for the model to live in and set the workspace environment to the results folder for the module.

2.       Then the model is created and named appropriately

3.       For this model the input shapefiles were added by dragging directly from the ArcGIS table of Contents

4.       The tools, Clip, Select, and Erase were all added by dragging them into the window from the toolbox.

5.       Then the connections were made by filling each tool with the required parameters or shapefiles (inputs/outputs).

   6.       Finally the model was saved and exported to a script in a .py format.

These steps resulted in the following flowchart and map results.
