Model Builder + ArcGIS Online Layers

CarsonMorton — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 23:05:28 GMT

I am trying to build a model that imports some of my layers from ArcGIS Online, and saves them to a newly created geodatabase.

I dragged these online layers from my catalog into my model builder window.

Any tool I try to plug them into won't accept them as an input feature. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure if service settings have anything to do with it, but with a hosted feature service that I own, I was able to add it to ArcGIS Pro, then drag the layer from the Contents into the model, and export successfully (Export Features tool) to my default file geodatabase.

see the 2nd bullet point under Add data - Add and connect data and tools and modify elements

What settings would interfere with this?

Just in case this helps explain my problem, here are a couple screen snips. it doesn't give me the 'input features' option like it does with a layer from a local gdb

for your desired input, what is the data type (or layer type / service type)? have you tried adding both the individual layer and/or the group layer? Is it worth signing up for and trying ArcGIS Online ModelBuilder (beta)?
