modelbuilder result won't add to TOC (cont.)

TomStephenson

This is a continued thread from the old forum:
http://forums.esri.com/thread.asp?t=303855&f=1728&c=93

If you are having trouble getting your Model result added to the table of contents when running your tool from a toolbox, make sure you first have "Add results of geoprocessing operations to the display" ticked on, in the Geoprocessing tab of the File>Options dialog in ArcMap/Catalog. Secondly, you must also have "Add to display", "Model Parameter", AND the "Managed" option all ticked on when you right-click and select the options for your output in Model Builder. This will hide the parameters from the user when run from the toolbox, but should still hopefully add to the display.

.... of course using the "managed" option restricts your output directory and name to teh default path of the input dataset.... gurrr.... back to square one 😞 anyone else?

I have posted a working solution here https://community.esri.com/message/102106#102106‌

Please try this see if this is working.

Thanks

The Make Feature Layer tool had the workspace specified (a variable in the model). Once I removed the entry, the tool worked. Still, it worked with the workspace specified before, and then it stopped... Inconsistency.

This seems to be a bug because it behaves differently. If I try to run individual tools within my model one by one, the Make Feature Layer tool adds layers to TOC if I uncheck the "Add To Display" and "Model Parameter" options in the context menu of the output layer (and I do have the "Add results of geoprocessing operations to the display" ticked on in the Geoprocessing tab of the File>Options dialog in ArcMap). When I ran the tools the same way in my previous ArcMap session, "Add To Display" and "Model Parameter" options were checked and the layers were added. Then it stopped working...

Hello All, I understand the limitations of ModelBuilder and adding to the Display when running outside the modelbuilder interface. In ArcGIS 10.0 my model uses in memory for everything except the elevation clip, percent rise, and slope. I am using inline-variables so the user only has to specify one output location for these three outputs. Is there a way to add to display using the inline variable one parameter method? Or is the only option removing the output workspace and making each a parameter? I understand the derived option and using python, I am actually using this in a separate model where I have to hard code values but wanted to use out of the box options.

On a related note. Is there a way to change the output data type within the model? As of now my outputs default to raster datasets or a combination of other things, is there a way to change this? When I open the output properties the option is grayed out.

Thank you for any help.

I run my models from the Model Builder window and have the same problem with it not "adding to display" automatically... I just rightclick on the output layer, uncheck "add to display" and check "add to display" back on... sort of annoying but it works.

I know that method is not helpful if you want less-experienced people to run it from toolbox.

I am also having problems adding a new shapefile created from a model using the FeatureClassToShapefile tool. I have modeled every output parameter I can, made sure the geoprocessing options are set to add results to the display, but no luck. I've attached the script if someone wants to take a look at it and let me know what I can do to accomplish this simple task!!! The script works to do everything else I need, except this.
Thanks,

Tom,

If you don't want to expose the output parameters to the end users of your model, then you should make them as derived parameters. Derived parameters don't show up in the tool dialog when the model is run as a model tool and are also added to the TOC after the model is run.

However in model builder, it is not easy to convert an output parameter into a derived parameter. For example in your model, you are using the Copy tool which by definition has an output parameter. So in Model Builder if you make this as a Model Parameter, it becomes an output. In order to make this as derived output, you need to use a python script tool where by you have more control over what you can expose as a parameter and what are the properties of that parameter (such as derived, default values).

Hope this helps

Thank's for clearing that up Deelesh,
It's just a shame you cant add your results to the display withut having to expose your parameters to the users when running from a toolbox.

Regards,
Tom

Tom,

The "Add to Display" option is applicable ONLY when running your model from within Model builder. If you run your Model as model tool (i.e. from ArcToolbox or the Command window), then the model outputs are added to the TOC only if the model tool has one or more output parameters. Looking at your model, you should make all the parameters that you want to add to display as "Model Parameter". You have to also make sure that "Add results of the geoprocessing operations to display" within Tools > Options > Geoprocessing tab is checked on. More information is available here. Note that this help topic is from ArcGIS 10 help but this behavior has always been in place.

This logic of adding tool outputs to TOC is applicable to any geoprocessing tool whether it is a system tool or your own python script tool or model tool.

Hope this helps

Thanks Andrew,

I'll have a look at your script but unfortunately this problem isn't specific to just this model. It's a problem I've had many times and judging by the forums I'm not the only one.

Cheers,
Tom

Tom,

You'll probably want to use python for this. I've attached a script (untested) that might help. I think what you are looking for is something that allows for users to just select an export directory and a file geodatabase name, but they do not have the option to change the output names. That means you want to use a derived output parameter. The parameters will still be modeled and the add to display selected, but the user will not have the option to enter in an output name.

Hi Tom,

Can you post your model? I would like to see what your model is doing so I can help figure out your problem. Also please provide a list of output parameters you want added to the TOC and what version of ArcGIS you are using.

Thanks

I am trying to add the outputs of a simple model that copies a feature classes to a newly created FGDB. When the 'add to display' option is ticked on each output, the model will add the the result to the TOC, but only when run from within model builder, not from a toolbox. I have attached the model
for you to investigate. I get the same result running ArcView 9.2 SP6, and 9.3.1 SP1.

Thanks for your help!

My results add even though they are not set as managed. They still have to be both parameter and "add to display" though
