Hi everyone,
I'm working on a suitability model and incorporating floodplain data as part of the analysis. I’ve converted the floodplain layer from vector to raster using area values.
What I want to achieve is this: areas within the floodplain should not have any suitability value at all—essentially, they should be excluded from the model output entirely.
However, I'm running into issues:
Applying an inverse function still assigns a value to the floodplain areas, which I don’t want.
I also tried using the "Identify Restricted Locations" tool, but that only creates a separate restricted layer and doesn’t actually exclude those areas from the final suitability output.
Has anyone successfully excluded floodplain (or similar constraint) areas from a suitability model so that they show up as null or no data in the result? Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated.
