Setting output symbology in ArcGIS Pro ModelBuilder?

[Anonymous User]

In ArcMap Desktop ModelBuilder, you could control output symbology by selecting the output variable, "Properties" then selecting a layer file.

I don't see this option in ArGIS Pro modelbuilder. Is it possible to control symbology of outputs with ArcGIS Pro modelbuilder?

Sorry in advance if I am overlooking something obvious.

Thank you,

Randy McGregor

Hi Randy,

1. Open the model Properties (ModelBuilder ribbon tab > Model group > Properties).
2. In the Properties dialog, click the Parameters tab.
3. For the table row containing the parameter of interest, scroll all the way to the right. There's a Symbology column.
4. Click in the cell for that column. A browse button appears.
5. Browse to the layer file you want to use for the output.

Hm. It's a raster with classified ranges and it's not ... quite working. If I run apply symbology to layer, I need to set "Maintain Ranges." Is there someway to set this in modelbuilder properties?

Thanks

Hello Randy McGregor,

• Instead of using apply sumbology from layer tool try setting it from the output of the tool. Does that work?
• Which part is not working? Can you please help share the snapshot of model, the layer range used to set and the value range of the data you are trying to set. 
• Is the range different from what the layer it is pointing to for setting the symbology?

This doesn't work for me either. 

If the layer is saved in the model builder properties>parameters, it does populate in the output of the tool in the model. However, when you run the tool it seems to choose whatever color it wants.

Do you need to save the layer in some secret special place to make it active? Does it need to remain in the catalog pane and on?
