The model properties dialog box as we knew it the V8i version seems to be gone in Connect Edition, to be integrated in the other 'Properties' dialog as used when looking at element properties.
The button "Edit model properties" in the Models dialog window doesn't seem to work for me, when I try to use it, I get the message:
"Edit Model Properties > Identify element to add to set".
This doesn't seem to be correct? Is it just here or do other users have the same?
Model properties appear in the same Properties dialog as Elements (and some other things in CONNECT Edition such as File properties), maybe the dialog has got pushed out of sight. If you pick Element Properties does it show up?
Once you have the Properties dialog open the Model properties will just appear as soon as you highlight a model in the list.

Hi Marc,
I do get this dialog when I rightmouseclick on the model in the Model dialog and properties:
The one I was looking for is this one (screenshot from V8i):
But this may be replaced with the one in the previous screenshot in Connect?
Which one should show up using the "Edit model properties" button in the Models window? Neither of them show up, only the message center says: "Edit Model Properties > Identify element to add to set".

Stefan, you are correct that the v8i models dialog has been integrated into the element properties dialog box. You should find all of the same settings.

ok thanks. So a question that pops up: in the V8i I had a list of sheet sizes, in this version I don't seem to be able to chose these, only 'custom...'.
Hi Stefan,
I think this is what you're looking for? FWIW, the seed chosen dictates the sheet size.
Also... I'm not sure if this matters in your case, but I found that the MS_USECUSTOMSHEETSIZEDEF variable was deprecated in CONNECT Edition: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/35489/connect-edition-deprecated-configuration-variables-for-the-connect-edition-platformmicrostation
