How can I use a remap as model parameter in a submodel in Model Builder ?

JanWouters — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 15:36:43 GMT

Hello,

I've encountered a problem when I want to use a remap as a model parameter in model builder.

I use in a model a reclassification tool and I've set a remap as model parameter with some default values in a submodel. When I run this submodel separately everything goes well. The screen displays the table with default values which I can edit.

When I want to use this model as a submodel, I get an empty table which is impossible to edit.

I've added an attachment with some more details.

Has someone a solution for this ?

Many thanks in advance !

Regards,

Jan

Something forgotten to ask:

Can it be a kind of bug ? So yes, does someone know a workaround ? So no, is there a way to get an editable remap-table as model parameter in the main model?

Is my question clear enough or am i talking chinese ;-), then I'll try to explain it better ?

Many thanks for your opinion !

Saw this Jan. You lose me a submodel. I guess you have ruled out moving your model to python by exporting it then putting the bits together there? Far easier to control inputs, outputs and connections in a python tools (there are two incarnations, one is dead simple).

Having posted, perhaps it will raise the challenge to someone else... however, they would be guessing at what your model looks like and be unable to identify where you have missed specifying a parameter of some other issue. A screen grab would go a long way

Thanks Dan for your effort to in my problem to pore upon my problem! In python (I'm a beginner in this matter and in Modelbuilder) I encounter the same problem: if I set a parameter in the script (Properties>Parameter): Data type = Remap, I've the same problem: I get an empty, uneditable reclassification table.

A little recapitulation to make my problem more clear:

I've a good working (sub)model with a reclassification as model parameter. I can edit this remap-table.

Here a screenshot of this (sub)model (the model is attached) and the startup-screen with the remap-table.

When I want to run this model as a submodel, I can't get an editable reclassification table any more, but only get an ineditable table.

Here a screenshot of the main model (the model is attached) and a screen shot of the ineditable table.

I don't know what I can do to avoid this problem.

Kind regards !

The input raster to the reclassify tool in your sub-model is exposed as a parameter and you expose that again in your master model so you can see it in the tool interface. But you have already pre-populated that, I know this as it's blue in your screen shot. Try removing the value from this parameter then run the tool, so you have to select the workspace, it should then populate the remap section and allow you to edit it. That worked for me.

Hi Duncan,

Many thanks for your help !

Unfortunately your solution doesn't seem to work for me.

The model parameter with the raster was indeed pre-populated. Removing this value (in the main and in the submodel), and selecting a geodatabase (with several rasters) didn't make the remap section editable for me. May be am I looking over something ? Can you give me perhaps an example that works for you ?

Thanks !!

Attached is a demo 10.3 toolbox, when you select the workspace the remap section populates and you can edit it.

Hi Duncan,

Really thanks again for your support !

Is it possible that the toolbox is empty ? I don't see anything in it.

greetings,

What version of ArcMap are you using?

Re: How can I use a remap as model parameter in a submodel in Model Builder ?

JanWouters — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 14:17:41 GMT

ArcMap 10.0 (Build 4000)

Re: How can I use a remap as model parameter in a submodel in Model Builder ?

DuncanHornby — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 14:45:50 GMT

OK here is the same toolbox saved out as a 10.0 toolbox.

You are using quite an old version of ArcMap so this may be a bug that you cannot solve, hence it working for me and not you?

Hi Duncan,

Thanks, I could open this version. When I want to execute the master model (doubleclick) I still get an uneditable remap. Do you get another screen ? Because I had to redefine the submodel in the master-model you sent (the original master-model wasn't executable for me), maybe I did something wrong ?

When I edit the master model, the remap-variable is editable.

greetings,

Jan

When I open the tool I first get this:

Then I select workspace:

As you can see the remap autocompletes and is freely editable. That's it! Nothing more. It sounds like a possible bug in version 10.0. ESRI don't seem to release patches for older versions, so you may need to upgrade (if you can) otherwise you'll just have to accept the limitations...

Duncan,

You're right. It's a bug in ArcMap 10.0 !

Many thanks for your support. Really appreciate it.
