Model parameters allow for user interaction.

Model parameters—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop 

but it isn't clear whether an iterator can incorporate 10 separate entities.  A preselection of features by a selection of the layer as a model parameter may the closest you can get, unless you can find an example of a parameter selection within an iterator in the model

Hi Mr. Dan Patterson,

Thank you for your reply.

I am trying to create a FEEDER line Feature by connecting POLES in a feature class. I will select the first pole using the select feature tool. Then I do a buffer on POLES feature class with a required distance on the selected pole. I will start Edit session and add the Feeder feature from the selected pole, then I select the 2nd required pole within the Buffered area and connect the feeder line to the new pole, then I do the buffer on the newly selected pole and repeat this  process until I complete the feeder line. 

I hope this will give you my requirement. I could do this using a model builder with buffer tool and manually selecting the next pole and connecting the feeder line manually. My question whether I can do the buffering within an iteration and selecting the next pole and connecting the feeder line manually and then the iteration to continue for a required number of times.. It means the Buffering only by using the Iteration.
