27.1.8. Modeler tools

Aviso

These tools are only available in the model designer. They are not available in the Processing Toolbox.

27.1.8.1. 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.

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 Usando os algoritmos do processamento a partir da consola for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

27.1.8.2. Create directory

Creates a new directory on a file system. Directories will be created recursively, creating all required parent directories in order to construct the full specified directory path. No errors will be raised if the directory already exists.

27.1.8.3. Feature filter

Filters features from the input layer and redirects them to one or several outputs. If you do not know about any attribute names that are common to all possible input layers, filtering is only possible on the feature geometry and general record mechanisms, such as $id and uuid.

27.1.8.13. Variable distance buffer

Aviso

This algorithm is deprecated and can be removed anytime. Prefer using Buffer algorithm instead.

Computes a buffer area for all the features in an input layer.

The size of the buffer for a given feature is defined by an attribute, so it allows different features to have different buffer sizes.
