How to add criteria to a suitability model

[SteveLynch]

Once you’ve set your goal and chosen your criteria, you can start building your suitability model.

In the Suitability Modeler app, there are four different ways to add your criteria:   

1. Add Criteria Layers from the Contents Pane

• This is the most common method.
• Click the Dropdown Arrow icon in the Suitability pane to select criteria layers that are already listed in the Contents pane.

• Click the "+" icon on the Suitability pane.
• Browse to and select the criteria raster datasets stored on disk.

4. On the Contents pane, Drag or Copy Raster Layers

• When the Suitability Modeler app is launched, a group layer is created in the Contents pane.
• You can add criteria to your model by dragging or copying raster layers from the Contents pane into this group layer.
