Raster Overlay Analysis: Scale Value

[CraigEissler]

In the Overlay Analysis tool, do you need to set a Scale Value to a Field Value to Rasters already Reclassified?

And what about the Evaluation Scale; If I've already Reclassified the Rasters to a Common Scale, why do I need to set this?

Thanks!

Are you in this toolset? and following this workflow?

[CraigEissler]

Yes, sorry, I'm in the Weighted Overlay tool.

It's not clear to me how I relate my already Reclassified Input Rasters (on a scale of 1 to 10) to the Weighted Overlay tool's 'Scale Value' and 'Evaluation Scale'..?

Thanks.

Hello, anybody?

[DanPatterson_Retired]

From the link I sent you, step 4 has been completed by you.  Your remaining task appears to decide on how to weight your input variables so that they total 100%.  Is this what you are needing help with?

[CraigEissler]

The Weighted Overlay tool contains more Input sections than the weights, themselves. My Question is about the 'Scale Value' and 'Evaluation Scale' inputs and how I relate and use them with my reclassified data. ...That's ok, I'll figure it out -- thanks anyway

[DanPatterson_Retired]

ok..they are explainednin the "how weighted overlay works" section in the tool's help

[CraigEissler]

I know -- thanks. I'm saying I don't understand it
