Introduction to ModelBuilder for ArcGIS Pro

8 GISP Credit Hours

Intended Audience

This course is intended for students who have migrated to ArcGIS Pro and want to automate geoprocessing tasks without having to learn Python.

Software and Licenses

Students will need to be assigned an ArcGIS Pro Basic or higher license from their organization prior to class which can be accessed from the web. This should be verified prior to the start of class.

Summary

Geoprocessing is an essential aspect of GIS that provides the ability to analyze and process geographic data. Geoprocessing tools can be accessed in ArcGIS Pro via the Geoprocessing pane, ModelBuilder, or Python scripts. ArcGIS ModelBuilder allows users with little to no programming skills to develop automated data processing routines within ArcGIS using a graphical interface with no programming involved.

ArcGIS Pro ModelBuilder provides a graphical modeling framework for designing and implementing geoprocessing models that can include system tools, scripts, other models, and data that are linked together to form an analysis or processing workflow. Because ModelBuilder uses a graphical interface that is integrated with ArcGIS Pro, users can create Models without the need of learning a programming language. However a model can be extended using Python scripts.

This class introduces student to ModelBuilder and how it can be used to create automated routines and workflows. Students learn how to create, use and share interactive models within the ArcGIS platform. They also learn how to document models so others can use them for their intended purposes. Lastly students are shown how models may be exported as images or python scripts.

I strongly and highly recommend it

Matt Gubitosa, U.S. EPA

I really enjoyed the Python/ArcGIS course. For me the right balance between detail and overview. Good work!

Pal Herman Sund

I thought the course was very organized. The style of presentation and the lesson format worked well together. It made the information easy to understand. -

Kyle Lockhart, Escambia County, FL

Class was well organized, well paced and I learned a lot.

Aleeta Zeller, Chattanooga RPA

These courses are great. I am so pressed for time this is the only way I can acquire extra skills these days. Thank you Eric for all your hard work!

Chris Hickin, NYC Fire Dept.

I have attended a number of instructor lead training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it.

Jason Warzinik, Boone County, MO

Really good course material. Very relevant subject matter.

Michael Philp, City of Springville, UT

Definitely got me "over the hump" of being able to grasp Python.

Joseph Monti

Very informative and knowledgeable course. It help determine which direction I should take my further GIS and web programming skills.
