Summary
Iterates over a starting and ending value by a given value. It works exactly like For in any scripting/programming language, executing through a set number of items.
Usage
This tool is intended for use in ModelBuilder and not in Python scripting.
The tool increments the starting value until the maximum specified limit is reached. For example, If the From Value is 0 and To Value is 10 to be incremented By Value 3, the iteration will increment until value 9.
If an Iterator is added to a model, all tools in the model iterate for each value in the iterator. If you do not want to run each tool in the model for each iterated value, create a sub-model/model within a model/nested model that contains only the iterator and add it as a model tool into the main model.
