GIS Python Tutorial: Modifying ArcGIS Pro Model Builder Exported Python Scripts #GIS #Python #ArcPy

Class is in session! In this video, I will show you how you can modify Python code generated from exporting an ArcGIS Pro model created inside the model builder tool of ArcGIS Pro. Specifically, how you can modify the Python code inside of the VS code computer programming software environment by adding additional python libraries and programming techniques that can extend beyond what was first created from ArcGIS Pro model builder. I will then show you how you can run your modified python code from a command line, opening up many powerful possibilities in terms of scripting in automation.
If you master the techniques I show you in this video, you will be well on your way to doing more advanced computer programming using ArcPro, ArcPy, and the broader world of python computer programming.
This tutorial was recorded during one of my lectures at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

super helpful!! Great job juggling taking the video, demonstrating the concepts, fielding in class questions and anticipating future video viewer questions!!

Great video, first half breaks down what a model is and how to get started. Second half talks about export as python and run that model outside of Pro. I scheduled my first model -> python script to run daily thanks to this

you can just start typing buffer in the model canvas and it will pull up a geoprocessing tool dropdown menu in modelbuilder

I really needed this. Thank you Professor!

Thanks really helpful please load more videos on arc py scripting tools. And is there any plateform you know where i can work on some projects like this just to practice?

Could you please refer to the video on how to link the interpreter for VS code? I followed this tutorial to link to my ArcGIS pro but got the following error in RED text:
try again.

is this possible to complete without vscode?
can this all be done within python?
