As seen in the image, I am trying to connect "Output Dataset" i.a result of merge of 2 shapefiles as input in the CLIP tool.
As you can see in the image(in the red highlighted area), input option is not coming when I am trying to connect "Output Dataset" with CLIP.
What should I do?????????
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just you need to add Select Data ( model builder tool) after the output of Merge tool.
see the following picture:
you haven't specified any parameters yet, check some of the visuals in the tutorial
You have to make feature layer of output dataset, You can use "make feature layer" GP Tool from data management tools. than connect that feature layer dataset to a clipping feature class.

Thanks a lot it worked for me
I have used Select Data before to unpack feature classes out of a feature dataset. Here you have used this tool to tag a model element of unspecified datatype (Merge is not able to do this because it can take many types of inputs) to the data type of the model element on disk. I have done this "tagging" before with Calculate Value but this is niftier. Nice trick!!
