Using ModelBuilder v10

 

This class introduces the power of ModelBuilder, a visual programming language for ArcGIS Desktop. It is an advanced class where students are expected to challenge themselves. Exercises are long and sometimes tedious due to the nature of programming, although there are large rewards to be gained after mastering the ModelBuilder basics.  Students will be introduced to the ModelBuilder interface, major model elements, model environment, and model documentation. Additionally, students will be challenged with programming model parameters, in-line variables, and iteration. Much more is included in this exciting class.

 

Students are encouraged to attend the optional review session to wrap up the course and ask questions.
