Getting to Know ArcGIS ModelBuilder
Getting to Know ArcGIS ModelBuilder teaches readers how to develop and run reusable geoprocessing workflows and models in ModelBuilder, a visual programming technology available in ArcGIS. Getting to Know ArcGIS ModelBuilder presents basic and more complex concepts and demonstrates best practices through hands-on exercises. Divided into seven chapters addressing model basics interactive models, flow control, multiple inputs, model iterations, model environment, and building documentation, this book fosters a comprehensive knowledge of ModelBuilder for the classroom and forself-learners. All the data needed for the exercises, as well as examples of models, Python scripts, and custom applications are included in a companion DVD.

Great for the novice but needs to be much longer for the expert I had great expectations for this book, thinking it would go into some detail on novel ways to use various geoprocessing tools together in models. Instead, it uses some common tools in simple models mainly to serve as examples of how ModelBuilder works.This is of great value to anybody who is new to ModelBuilder and is some use to self-taught power users of ModelBuilder who need a good foundation in the major aspects of the application.I did learn about iteration, better…
legit Yesterday I completed all exercises in the book except for chapters 2, 4, and 7. went smoothly. I found the book a great warmup for visually thinking in terms of source code and am looking forward to a) getting to the rest of it and b) graduating from modelbuilder into python. There are a few minor errors which make the book’s interpretation for 10.1 SLIGHTLY different, but if the user already has a familiarity with modelbuilder but seeks knowledge of advanced techniques, these errors are…
Great resource for experienced ArcGIS User I use this as a text book for classes I teach on ModelBuilder. It is a great resource for anyone looking to learn more about using ModelBuilder to automate and document analysis or other geoprocessing workflows in Esri’s ArcGIS for Desktop. ModelBuilder allows users to create automated scripts using a visual interface without the need to be a programmer. This book is not for those new to GIS. Some experience using Esri’s ArcGIS for Desktop is a must. Experience using geoprocessing tools to…
