Create model

This menu item will create an ITP Model from a selected model document. When a project, folder or include document is selected or when model documents are multi selected (in the content pane) this menu item will open the window Create model.

The Create model window will be opened when the object selected in the tree view is;

• a project,
• a folder,
• an include document,
• when more than one document or model is selected in the Content pane.

The window Create model has its own Help.

Batch creation of models is done in the Create Model dialog. Creating models in batch is useful in several cases. For instance, when all models in a project need to be recreated, when an include document has been changed and all the ITP Models that depend on it need to be recreated, or when a project can be moved to a next stage in development. If batch creation is invoked when an include document is selected, all models that use the include document will be listed. This includes models that had not yet been created before. Also, models that only include this model document indirectly (i.e. via another include document) are listed. All listed models can be created together if the button Create is clicked. This menu item opens the Create Model window, as shown below.

The models of the selected project, folder or include document are listed, as is their status. The icons and text in the details column show the status of the models. There are 5 possible states:

No icon - valid model but not created in this session

	-	valid model created in this session
	-	the model is locked by someone else, you cannot (re)create it
	-	outdated model, needs recreation
	-	creation of the model failed in this session
	-	the created model is good but running it against the current ITP/MDK Repository it will fail because of missing runtime objects. The Show errors action on such a model will display the warnings

This window allows you to recreate all models in the selected project or folder or from the selected include document.
It offers a choice to (re)create all models or just the outdated ones. Outdated models are models whose model documents, either the main document or one of the include documents, have been changed since they were created. It also offers the possibility to label all models. This button comes available when all models have been successfully created. You can unlock all models from this window. This button comes available when all models have been successfully created.
