24.1.6. Modeler tools

These tools are only available in the Graphical Modeler. They are not available in the Processing Toolbox.

24.1.6.1. Conditional branch

Adds a conditional branch into a model, allowing parts of the model to be executed based on the result of an expression evaluation. Mostly by using tool dependencies to control the flow of a model.

Parameters

Field

BRANCH

[string]

Name of the condition

Field

CONDITION

[expression]

Expression to evaluate

Outputs

None.

Python code

Algorithm ID: native:condition

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

24.1.6.2. Load layer into project

Loads a layer to the current project.

Parameters

Python code

Algorithm ID: qgis:loadlayer

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

24.1.6.3. Raise exception

Raises an exception and cancels a model’s execution. The exception message can be customized, and optionally an expression based condition can be specified. If an expression condition is used, then the exception will only be raised if the expression result is true. A false result indicates that no exception will be raised, and the model execution can continue uninterrupted.

Parameters

24.1.6.4. Raise warning

Raises a warning message in the log. The warning message can be customized, and optionally an expression based condition can be specified. If an expression condition is used, then the warning will only be logged if the expression result is true. A false result indicates that no warning will be logged.
