Create your Domain-Specific Library ​

Here we will discuss how you can create your own Domain-Specific Library (called library in this section) to be used with Scene2Model. Internally a library is saved in folder on the local file system, which must be chosen if a new library is created.

This section will discuss how you can create your own Domain-Specific library (called library in this section) to be used with Scene2Model. Internally a library is saved in folder on the local file system, which must be chosen if a new library is created. The visual representation for the elements are pictures saved in this folder.

Attention: The size of the pictures chosen influences the default size of the pictures in the Scene2Model modelling tool. The right size for the pictures depends on concrete element and its representation. But here are some guiding principles for sizes, as we have already used. Depending if the picture is more wide or tall, the corresponding value should be prioritized.

Guiding principles for possible element types in pixel in the format width x height:

  • Humans: 110 x 250
  • Backgrounds: 900 x 630
  • Buildings (tall): 350 x 625
  • Buildings (wide): 680 x 540
  • Device with text (tall): 400 x 500
  • Device with text (wide): 770 x 480

Create a Domain-Specific Library ​

To create a new library, you have to execute the following steps:

  1. Select Library Management -> Create new a new library
    • select where the library should be saved on your local file system
  1. Initialize your classes by clicking on Initialize list
    • read the info box and confirm if you want to delete all classes
    • then add the list of classes that should be added to your library (each class in one line)
    • (a initial list of classes is provided, which can be deleted if you do not need them)
  1. Define the types and visualisation of the design elements:
    • Check the class for which types should be defined
    • Click Modify elements
    • Click Add element
    • Search for the picture that should be used for the visualisation and confirm (as name for the type the name of the picture until the first full stop is taken)
    • Confirm with Close
    • Repeat for each class

  1. Save the library
    • You have to decided if the changes to the library should be loaded by choosing one of the two buttons:
      • Load the library afterwards by click on Close and load library
      • Otherwise click Close without loading

Hint: You can adapt the available attributes of a class and further influence the graphical representation. More information can be found on the Update Your Library page.

Create a Domain-Specific Library with AI Support ​

Create a new library but use a ChatGPD coupling to suggest you classes.

  1. Select Library Management -> Create new a new library
    • select where the library should be saved on your local file system
  1. Get a AI generated suggestion of classes by clicking on Initialize list using ChatGPT
    • read the info box and confirm if you want to delete all classes
    • provide a text defining the domain, for which classes should be suggested
    • Confirm with Ok
  1. Define the types and visualisation of the design elements:
    • Check the class for which types should be defined
    • Click Modify elements
    • Click Add element
    • Search for the picture that should be used for the visualisation and confirm (as name for the type the name of the picture until the first full stop is taken)
    • Confirm with Close
    • Repeat for each class
