arcgis desktop - Setting single output location for multiple files in ModelBuilder?


I have created a model in ModelBuilder. The first step is for the user to specify the location of the File Geodatabase that all the outputs will be saved in. What I want is for all the outputs (from the different tools within the model) to be saved in that FGDB; however, it could be called anything and located anywhere.


So how do I cause the output to be saved in the location that is specified in the first step?



Answer



This page on Esri's site should give you all the information you need to do this within ModelBuilder. Essentially you create a variable for the output folder/geodatabase -- which can be user-generated or hardcoded -- and then call it in the other tools by its name, surrounded by % symbols.
