Displaying model data

Model inputs and outputs can be automatically added to the ArcMap table of contents after model execution by using the Add To Display option.

Steps:

1. Right-click any data variable and click Add To Display, as shown below.
To remove the input or output from the ArcMap table of contents, right-click the data variable in the model and uncheck the Add To Display option.
Note:

Tool outputs with the Add To Display option checked are added to the display using the variable name. If your model is iterating multiple times and you want to add the output of each iteration to display in ArcMap with the actual unique output name instead of the name of the variable:

1. Connect the output to be displayed to the Collect Values tool.
2. Right-click the output of Collect Values and check the Add To Display.
3. If the model will be run from the model tool dialog box, then make the output of Collect Values a model parameter, as only the output model parameters are added to display.

Note:

Add To Display has no effect outside ModelBuilder. When running a model tool from its dialog box or the Python window, the Add To Display setting will not be honored. To add model data variables to the display when running the model from its dialog box or the Python window, make the data variable a model parameter, then enable the Add results of geoprocessing operations to the display option from the Standard toolbar: Geoprocessing > Geoprocessing Options > Add results of geoprocessing operations to the display.
