This lesson will introduce the basic concepts of global modeling tools that can be used throughout your model. These properties can simplify views and enable dynamic changes in your model. We will also look at ways to use a Combiner and Separator in order to better model situations that may happen in real life.
Note: For more information on global modeling tools, see the Modeling Tools section.

Model Overview
In this model we’re going to look at some different ways of accomplishing tasks as opposed to how they have been done in previous lessons. Both methods give the same result, but some users prefer one way over the other.
We’ll also take a look at Combiners and Separators and how they can be used in your models.
