Static Model Names

The Static Model Names tool lets you browse and generate the list of model names that are defined by the Alpha type configuration. These names are determined by the type's options and their possible codes.

What Are Static Model Names?

In the Alpha type system, each product type can have options (e.g., roof style, facade material). Each option has a set of codes (specific values). The combination of selected option codes determines a set of static model names — the expected group names for that configuration.

Opening Static Model Names

Click Static Names in the Tools panel of the Alpha ribbon.

How to Use

1. The tool loads available product types from the Alpha platform
2. Select a type (the type configured in Settings is pre-selected)
3. The type's options and their codes are displayed
4. Select a code for each option
5. Click Generate Names to compute the resulting model names

Understanding the Results

The generated list shows:

This helps you identify:

• Which model names you need to create groups for
• Which groups are already present and correctly named
• Any gaps between the type configuration and your Revit model

Highlighting Groups

For names that have a matching group in the Revit document:

• Highlight Selected — Highlight a single matching group in the viewport
• Highlight All — Highlight all matching groups at once

Workflow

    A[Select Product Type] --> B[Configure Option Codes]
    B --> C[Generate Names]
    C --> D{Group exists?}
    D -->|Yes| E[Highlight in Revit]
    D -->|No| F[Create group in Revit]
    F --> G[Rename to match]

1. Select the product type you are working with
2. Choose option codes that match the configuration you need to model
3. Generate the names to see what groups are expected
4. Create and name Revit groups to match the generated names
5. Use Rename Group if you need to correct existing group names

Requirements

• A valid API key must be configured in Settings
• A Type ID should be set in Settings for auto-selection (or select a type manually)
