10.2 Build Methods

Logical Modeler builds can be performed using one of three methods:

  • selecting individual entities,
  • building multiple entities by analyzing their build status or
  • building all entities, regardless of their build status.

Each method serves a particular need in the modeler.

If you require that only a very small part of the model be built, individual entities can be selected for build. If you wish to build the entire model after a large number of changes, either the entire model or only those entities that are required to be built can be analyzed and the appropriate build acitivities sequenced automatically on the builder queue.

Abstractions can be used to control the entities selected for the build. For more details, refer to 8. Abstractions and 8.3 Work with Abstractions.
