Right-click the Find Potential Habitat model in the ArcToolbox window and click Open. Because you set two of the model variables as parameters earlier, you now see two parameters displayed on the model’s dialog box.

Click the Show Help button to see the description for the model that you wrote earlier.

Leave the default value for the Input Vegetation parameter to use vegtype.

Leave the default value for the Output Habitat Locations parameter to create an output called locations. This output will replace the output inside your current workspace, Habitat_Analysis.gdb.

Although you already executed each individual tool while building the model, these tools will be executed again, and the results will be overwritten.

Note: When you run a model from its dialog box, unlike when running the model within the ModelBuilder window, the intermediate data—data referenced by derived data elements that are flagged as intermediate—will be deleted after the model has executed.

Click OK to run the model.

Note: The final result is added to the display by default. This is because the option to add results of geoprocessing operations to the display is checked on by default in the Geoprocessing tab of the Options dialog box, accessed via the Tools menu on the Main menu.

Note also that the ‘locations’ result created earlier by running the model from within the ModelBuilder window has been overwritten because the option to overwrite the outputs from geoprocessing operations is turned on in the Options dialog box. Also, the result produced is permanent, because the option to create temporary results from tools is turned off by default in the Options dialog box.

Click File on the Main menu of ArcMap and click Save.

In this exercise you saw how to create a new model that finds potential habitat locations for the California gnatcatcher.
