    How do insert louvers into my model? I can't seem to find any louvers in the window tool. In fact there is no mention of louvers in the help guide. How can I get some louvers into my model?

    Since the calculations are performed in memory prior to outputting the extraction model, I'd imagine it's the source model units that matter; i.e., the model name displayed in the main DEM dialog. Of course, I'd hope that the working units are the same…
