Benthic Terrain Modeler using ArcGIS Pro

Hi all!

I downloaded the Benthic Terrain Modeler on the NOAA website (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/btm.html) because I am trying to conduct Terrain Ruggedness Index or Vector Ruggedness measures in ArcGis Pro on a bathymtry raster. It seems that the best way to conduct these analysis is through this Benthic terrain Modeler, but it seems it was initially designed for ArcMap and I have issues using it in Pro...

In Pro, we have to add it as a new toolbox. When I open the toolbox, I get 3 model builders that are accessibles, but I have no clue what I am supposed to do next...

I precise that the bathymetry raster on which I want to conduct these analysis has a 20 m spatial resolution.

Thanks!

Requires ArcGIS 10.x and the Spatial Analyst extension
