ModelBuilder options

The ModelBuilder tab on the Options dialog box provides options related to the models that you run in ArcGIS Pro. There are three ways to access these options:

  • From an open project, click the Project tab on the ribbon. In the list of side tabs, click Options. On the Options dialog box, click the ModelBuilder tab to set model options.
  • From the ArcGIS Pro start page, click the Settings tab. In the list of side tabs, click Options. On the Options dialog box, click the ModelBuilder tab to set model options.
  • Alternatively, on the ModelBuilder tab, in the Model group, click the Options dialog box launcher Launcher.

Add output to a model group layer

When running a model in the ModelBuilder window, you can add output datasets to a map by right-clicking an output data variable and selecting Add To Display. If the tool has already run, the data is added to the map. If the tool has not yet run, the data is added to the map after the tool runs. For easier management of the layers, the output is added under a dedicated ModelBuilder group layer in the Contents pane. The layer name includes both the ModelBuilder variable name and the value of the variable.

To disable the adding of outputs to a ModelBuilder group layer, uncheck the Add output to model group layer check box.
