Right-click the Find Best Route model in the ArcToolbox window and click Open, or double-click the tool.

The variables you made into model parameters are displayed as the parameters on the model’s dialog box. Users of your model can enter their own parameter values to find suitable routes from point A to point B in their area without having to know much information about the underlying workings of the model. As with the Find location for the school model, they would, of course, need to have the same fields present in the landuse data, understand the methodology of the model, and agree with the assumptions applied.

Click Cancel on the model’s dialog box.

You have set relative paths for both models created in this tutorial, so if the toolbox containing the models and the data are moved (keeping the same structure between them) to a new location on disk, the paths to the data sources will be set relative to the position of the toolbox. You should also set relative paths for your map document so layers in the table of contents will find their data sources by traversing the relative paths.

Click File and click Document Properties. Click Data Source Options. Check Store relative path names to data sources and click OK. Click OK on the Site_Analysis.mxd Properties dialog box.

Click File and click Save.

Click File and click Exit.
