This section provides the following parts:
Creating/Opening a Project
Before you can start modeling you have to create a project. This is described in the HowTo and Short Tutorial section extensively.
You also can load an already existing project by pressing the Open symbol or using the Recent Projects menu entry.
You can find a graphical representation of the current project in the Project Window. For each node (except of the Models folder) you can see attributes in the Attribute Window.
Project Node
- Name
- Name of the project
- FileName
- A fully qualified name of the project file
- TemplateSet
- The current template set
- OutputPath
- The output location for the generated code
Model Node
- Filename
- A fully qualified name of the model file
- NamespaceIndex
- The namespace index of the model within the project
- NamespaceURI
- the namespace URI of the project
- Additional Attributes (Namespace, Organisation …)
- TemplateSet depending information, i.e. the additional information entered in the wizard
TemplateSet Node
- TemplateSet
- The name of the template set
- Description
- A small description of the template set

More information on this topic can be found in Models.
Model Node
- Generate Namespace/Don’t Generate Namespace
- Here you can select the models for generating code. The selected models will receive a blue gear wheel symbol. For each selected model node code will be generated when clicking the blue gear wheel symbol in the tool bar.
- Set Model Color
- This opens a dialog where you can select the color in which the Nodes of this model are displayed in the Graphics View.
- Export XML
- Choose this entry for exporting the the model to a XML file compliant with the schema of the OPC foundation (http://opcfoundation.org/UA/2011/03/UANodeSet.xsd).
- Check Consistency
- Here, you can call the built-in consistency checks for custom models. For more information, see Consistency Check.
Working on a Project
You can add new nodes to your model using the context menu in the Information Model Window. Alternatively, you can click on the AddSubtype button in the Types View (if available).
