Expand the Extract toolset located inside the Analysis Tools toolbox. Click the Clip tool and drag it into the ModelBuilder window.

Click the Add Connection tool.

Click the element Output Habitat Locations, then click the Clip tool element. A connector is drawn between the two elements, connecting the output from the Find Potential Habitat tool as input for the Clip tool.

Click the element Buffer Zones, then click the Clip tool.

Double-click the Clip tool element to view the parameter values set in the tool’s dialog box. Notice that by connecting the input data elements to the tool element, the values for the Input Features parameter and the Clip Features parameter are set inside the tool’s dialog box.

As the result from the Clip tool is the final output from the model, clear the default path and type “impacted_habitat” for the name of the Output Feature Class. The path to the current workspace will be supplied by default.

Leave the default value (blank) for the XY Tolerance parameter and the units as Feet. An appropriate default value will be calculated using the units of the spatial reference set for the output, in this case, in feet, as the input data spatial reference units are in feet. Click OK.
