Description:
I’m experiencing an issue with the Habitat Quality model in InVEST 3.12.0 where the output raster has NoData values around all four edges, causing misalignment with my study area boundary. Despite applying a 5km buffer to all input data, the results still show incomplete coverage.

1. Problem Details

  • Software: InVEST 3.12.0 (Standalone installer)

  • Operating System: Windows 10/11

  • Issue: Output habitat quality raster has NoData border around edges

  • Expected: Complete raster coverage matching study area extent

2. Model Configuration

Hi @InVESTSS,

I would recommend updating to the latest version of InVEST (3.17). There have been several updates to the Habitat Quality model and the way that it aligns spatial inputs since 3.12.0 was released in 2022. If you update to the latest version and the problem persists, please let us know.
