Models
Organising your data in Speckle
Models help you organise your data within a project. They’re useful for splitting different parts of your work, such as design options, disciplines, or team responsibilities. A model can be a direct relationship to a 3d model file, or a portion of it, or it can related to multiple files within a single model. Models work best when they are used to represent a particular part of your work, a focus for a conversation, a single package deliverable or a particular discipline, the choice is yours.
Creating Models
A new project starts without models present. You can create an empty model in the web interface or from a connector. This is simply a container for your data; it will have data in it once you publish data from a supported design tool using a connector.
You can keep everything in that model or create additional ones to explore design options, separate work by team or discipline, and organise project components more clearly.
Models give you the flexibility to structure your data to fit how you work.
Managing Models
You can create as many models as you need within a project within your workspace limits. The Speckle Web App makes it simple to add new models and switch between them.
Models can be named to mimic a folder structure by using a forward slash / in the name,
e.g. Building A/Floors/Floor 1.
