Should the following tools be independent from the overall NRCS Engineering tool workflow:
Clip DEM to AOI
Create Contours From AOI
Create Cross Section / Profile(s)
Estimate Pool From Contours
Slope - Average by AOI
Slope - Percent by AOI
Specifically, should the outputs of these tools follow the FGDB schema that other tools depend on or should the user dictate where the outputs should reside? For example, the 'Clip DEM to AOI' tool prompts the user to specify an output location whereas the 'Create Contours From AOI' tool prompts the user for an existing workspace and if an *_EngTools FGDB doesn't exist one will be created along with a feature dataset to store the output derivatives?
