Hello,
I recently encountered an issue while using geoprocessing tools in ModelBuilder. I can add the tools to the model, but I’m unable to open them. I’ve tried double-clicking and right-clicking > Open, but nothing happens.

This problem didn’t exist in version 3.4, but ever since updating to version 3.5, I haven’t been able to use ModelBuilder. Interestingly, if I close and reopen the model tab, and try a few more times, the tool eventually opens and lets me configure the settings, but it’s hit or miss, and I haven’t found any consistent pattern or logical reason behind it.

I’d appreciate any assistance in this!

Hi Marjan
I was having the same issue, but then I realized that ArcGIS Pro was opening the tool window offscreen. I have a second monitor, and since it's bigger than my laptop screen I prefer to use it for maps. When I open the tool, the window appears offset to the left, and I found that if I pan the tool over to the right side of my screen before trying to open it, I can get the window to open on screen. However if the tool is too far to the left in my modelbuilder window, it opens out of view and there is no indication that anything happened at all.
