Model Settings allows you to access the basic settings for your model. Click on the three dot menu next to each Model to enter the Settings dialog box.

Model Name

Here you can change the Name of your model and how it will appear when using the “Model Name” field.

Model Category Settings

Select which Model categories and phases you want to include in your Layer project. If you want to add a new Model category, start typing within the Select model category to add box to select from the available model categories from your Revit model.

Remove Deleted Elements

Elements that once existed in a version of your Revit model, but no longer exist in the latest version of your model continue to exist in Layer. Use this option to remove those elements from Layer as well.

Delete Model

Permanently delete the model, its settings and all elements created from this model.
