The appended feature classes are then exported to shapefiles in a folder created by the model. The model performs as expected when run from the editor pane as shown below. I would like the user to be able to run the model as a tool and provide a name to create the new folder to export to. I assumed this would be accomplished by making the 'Folder Name' a parameter. When run this way the tool successfully creates a new folder and bypasses the append and export tools. I have tried setting preconditions with no success.</P><P>TLDR; Model operates as expected until folder name is set as a parameter and the model is run as a tool.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="agreen_0-1640647848980.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/30403iE7D9D05000A1D268/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="agreen_0-1640647848980.png" alt="agreen_0-1640647848980.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 27 Dec 2021 23:34:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/model-builder-parameter/m-p/1129086#M49383 Anonymous User 2021-12-27T23:34:21Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/model-builder-parameter/m-p/1129121#M49384 <P>Connect <EM>Export Folder</EM> variable to <EM>Append</EM> tools as precondition, and try again.</P> Tue, 28 Dec 2021 09:57:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/model-builder-parameter/m-p/1129121#M49384 JayantaPoddar 2021-12-28T09:57:48Z
