Model Input Parameter Slow

[JayWee]

Morning All,

I've got a model that allows users to select multiple features as parameters.

For some reason each parameter takes roughly 1-2 minutes before moving to the next selection.

Can i please find out whether is there a way to speed this part up?

Thanks

That isn't normal, so you will have to establish whether...

It occurs in just this model?

just on your computer?

where does the data reside (local, network, etc)?

data type?

etcetera

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the rapid reply.

All the files (mainly polygons) that the parameter takes in resides in geodatabase in the company's network.

I've tried other models and seems like larger models (more steps/complexity) takes even longer.

The model resides in a network folder as well.

Therefore not sure whether does that impact on the performances.

Tried moving those files into my local computer and seems to be a little bit faster, yet still takes almost half a minutes to show up before i can move to the next parameter.

Is it possible that the model does the full connection immediately everytime after i enter a parameter, or does it only does the connection after i click OK to start the entire model?

Thanks

Could be a model thing, validation may be different in models rather than scripts.

Move the model to a "custom script tool" and see if there are any differences
